Build Your Own Guitar Builder Plans DIY Musical Instrument Building Project

These Acoustic Guitar Building Plans will show you how to make your own guitar.

What makes this a good guitar? For one thing, the materials. The top is fine-grain spruce and the other parts are Honduras Mahogany - both "musical grade" woods. Cheap models may use gumwood, birch veneer, etc., usually covered with a heavy coat of finish that is too thick for good sound.
Another quality feature is the large-size authentic "folk" shape. The size provides volume, and the shape at the "waist" lets you string the instrument "heavy" if you wish. In addition, the neck joins the body at the fourteenth fret instead of the twelfth, allowing easier fingering low on the neck.
A third feature is the construction. The top is braced with special "fan" bracing instead of the simpler symmetrical bracing. With fan bracing, you get extra strength where the "string loading" is heaviest. Without it, your guitar may be fine in the treble or in the bass, but rarely in both.
Finally, the cost is kept down by eliminating the banding and purfling often used to ornament commercial guitars and which have no effect on the musical quality.
In spite of the delicate-seeming nature of any stringed instrument, Acoustic Guitar Building Plans are not difficult to use. The most critical aspect is the selection of materials, and all the materials mentioned here are available in "musical-instrument grade.

All DIY plans are designed by Ben Stone. Ben is a retired Engineer in Canada. Ben also drafts these himself using the latest AutoCAD software to ensure accuracy. He studied Engineering back in the early 1980's. After over 30 years in the Construction industry he developed a passion for building cool items around his farm and cabin. These are great DIY projects. With a little skill anybody can Do It Yourself. Ben is always a email away if you have any questions while building one of his projects. He is adding new plans all the time.
