How To Build A Guitar : Vintage Cigar Box Guitar Construction - BellyJelly Music, April 2010

Veteran guitarist and guitar maker Bill Jehle explores Vintage Cigar Box Guitar Construction techniques to further simplify learning the art of guitar building: remove everything that is non-essential, and see what remains.

This DVD is for anyone interested in building a guitar that are limited by time, tools, or resources. As a prequel to The String, Stick, Box Method, How to Build a Guitar: Vintage Cigar Box Guitar Construction covers:

  • A 5 minute guitar build
  • Creating f-holes by hand
  • Using hand tools only
    • Electric drill
    • Rasp and File
    • Hobby Knife
    • Sandpaper
    • Soldering Iron
  • Adding a magnetic coil pickup and basic wiring
  • Playing techniques to get the most from your cigar box guitars
  • And more!

 
Simple measurements and working with simple hand tools are all that's needed.

 
Easy construction and playing demonstration for each instrument.

 
Extend a simple idea into a basic 6-string electric guitar. Basic wiring demystified.

 
You'll end up with the meanest sounding guitar ever made from $20 in materials!

What people are saying about this DVD:

"I just got your DVD on how to make a cigar box guitar and really enjoyed it! I am getting ready to build my first guitar... Thanks for your suggestions on how to make a neck without a router, band saw and other fancy power tools. I like to use hand tools or small portable power tools. I'm a newbie that does not have access to a woodshop." --   Esteban Celis
