galvanic Guitar Kits - Easier Than You Think

I wanted to build a guitar but knew I did not have the skills required to do it from scratch. That's when I turned to galvanic guitar kits. I found it much easier than thinkable, and even more rewarding.

A guitar kit is a build it yourself building scheme that at the end of you have a fully functioning expert capability guitar. All things you need comes in the box and is ready to be used. All things is designed to make it as easy as possible, even the holes and cavities are pre-drilled and there are no devotee tools required, you should already have all the considerable tools and if not a friend or neighbour will. You will wish the following - Screwdriver, Coping saw or jigsaw, sandpaper (various grades), a craft knife and a wood file. That's pretty much it.

You may be request the question. Why do we need a saw? Well most galvanic guitar kits come with a blank headstock to allow you to establish your own shape and further emphasise that this is your guitar. The kit I brought had a headstock with three tuners on each side (holes pre-drilled). So to make sure my establish was symmetrical, I found the vertical middle of the headstock and using a piece of paper drew just one half on the shape I wanted, traced it onto the headstock then simply flipped it over and traced it on the other half. Cut it with the saw and then finessed it with sandpaper until it was excellent and smooth.

There were a few things a was worried about before I even brought the kit. The first was the paint job. The body comes sanded and natural wood so the stop is up to you. Even though the body was sanded and sealed in the installation I found on my kit it was not a brilliant job so I chose to re-sand the body starting with a policy paper and intriguing on to a fine wet & dry paper to for real get a smooth expert look. I choose a navy blue colour to stop my guitar and I used an aerosol spray paint that I brought from my local car spares store. It took Four coats until I was happy with it, and then I gave it a further two coats of clear to give it a shine and safe the paint. I kept the headstock natural so just sprayed it with the clear to safe the wood. I could then attach the neck and body together which was simply a metal plate and four screws.

The biggest worry for me when I idea about building an galvanic guitar kit was the electrics. I was not determined about wiring the pickups, switches and knobs, so guess what, I didn't. The kit I had brought came with these all pre-wired I just simply feed them straight through the cavities in the guitar body and the job was done.

I plugged into my amp and was for real amazed to be playing something I had made and it sounded good. It for real encouraged me to play more often and to get better. I will right on be doing an galvanic guitar kits scheme again and for real encourage you to do the same.
