Guitar Design and Planning Session - Mon 10th Jul, 7pm

Hi all,

The instrument makers group is meeting again on Mon 10th July at 7pm.

This time around I’ll be sharing how I go about designing a guitar, including drawing a full-scale plan. I’ll try to cover stuff like:

  • How to determine what scale length to use
  • How your choice of hardware influences your design
  • How to calculate a break angle
  • How to figure out where to put your bridge, pickup(s), etc.
  • How to lay out your controls
  • Ergonomics and balance
  • etc.

If you’ve ever thought about building a guitar but not done anything about it yet, this is the session for you :smiley:

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

For anyone coming along tonight, I’ll be at the space shortly after 7, say around 7:15.
