You can add any kind of carved detail you want.įor this first project I didn’t do the gears detail on the guitar, but the “stratpunk” gears version pictured above is included in the Student-Strat Projectfiles. With the style in mind, I ordered my hardware, electronics kits, and strat-style neck. If you are a student or teacher looking to build guitars, go to this site for everything you need. I found a little too late into this process, but this site is exactly the kind of student resource I was looking for. They have excellent tutorials, kits to purchase, including blank boards perfectly suited for the CarveWright. It’s mostly up to the person on what their budget allows, but the quality of the parts will be the biggest influence of the sound of the finished guitar. Parts can vary widely in price and quality. Hardware and necks can be acquired many places. It’s the most copied and sold style of electric guitar ever, so chances are it would be the choice of most.įor this project, I didn’t want to try building a neck yet, so this is only the guitar body. What better design to start with than the iconic Fender Stratocaster.
