I enjoy what I'm doing and I consider myself a parts changer that knows a little bit about what he is doing 😉 Things such as taking a plank of wood and turning it into a guitar body or neck, routing out cavities for parts, doing a fret job, and a few other things that invole specialized knowledge, tools and experience are out of my wheelhouse. My short list includes changing bridges, necks, pickups, setting action, intonation, stripping a finish, refinishing ( oil or paint can ) basic electronics and wiring ( this one trys my patience and i always need a schematic ) truss rod adjustments, cleaning a fret board and oiling it ,Īs you can see my list includes most things guitars need to have done to them with out the heavy tools and super experience.

I do alot of my own work within these parameters. You may not ever see it again or get a decent price when and if you try to sell one of your experements in guitar building. The only thing I may caution you about is you may need to be OK about the money you sink into this type of activity. In a lot of cases I prefer what I'm building / Modding over what they are selling over the counter. If you get good you may even decide you prefer what you are doing most of the time as opposed to sending one of your guitars out to have it set up in a shop.

The next time you run across a guitar used or new you will have a level of confidence in your abillity to know exactly what you are looking at and where you may stand on being able to determine if the guitar may be a good choice for you with out having to bring it to a shop.

Once you gain some guitar set up skills in all the various areas of action, electronics, intonation, setting up a neck, changing all the parts and fitting them, you will have some chops.
