Here is part 9 of the 15-part Premier Strat type guitar building series. This series is modeled after the beginner’s guitar construction class that I teach at a local community college. If you are new to guitar building…this will give you all the knowledge you need to be successful. Of course, you will need some basic woodworking ability…and at least some tools as needed. I require that my class students build either a Tele or Strat type guitar for their first build. They are simple…yet amazingly efficient. Leo Fender was an absolute genius…inventing things that are still widely used over 60 years later.
We will be using the Maximum Guitar Works template system. The basic seven-piece Strat set includes the body and pickup rout template, the neck pocket template, the back tremolo template, neck template, fretboard template, the standard pickguard template, and the rear tremolo cover template. The complete basic template system includes safety grips and hardened steel drill bushing for alignment and accuracy. There are other options available, please ask for any special needs.
Learn more about the template systems through my past KZread videos.

    I love your videos. They are by far the best videos on how to build a guitar that I have found. Excellent production, and very precise. Thank you for all your hard work. It is appreciated.

    Thanks for the video 🙂 I think you'll have a chance to route (most of) the roundover for the arm rest on the router table, if you do it before you rout the roundover for the top side. It will of course not work for the belly relief.

    when doing belly carves and comfort cuts, i really like using a custom cabinet scraper i made, for final finish. its a thicker piece of steel, sharp edge. the steel doesn't bend, so i get a very flat surface, with a smooth finish
