Here is part 11 of the 15-part Premier Strat type guitar building series. This series is modeled after the beginner’s guitar construction class that we 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.

Nice spray carousel.
That purple finish is amazing, my daughter Emily would have loved that back when she had an opinion about colours.
Hannah/Steve, I am loving these new videos you two are putting out...these deep dives are great for both novice and seasoned builders, there is always something to learn from you guys.
Before i finish watching this fantabulous guitar finishing video I’d like to finsh up by saying that this is some of the best finishing I’ve seen in a long while! Right, I’ve finished.
Well…it is all about the finishing! 😉 Thanks.
Stunning Job! The pearlescent colour is amazing!
awesome !!!!
I like to wipe blistex on the frets prior to shooting the fingerboard with lacquer. After every 3rd coat, I can wipe the finish off of each fret with one pass of the finger. Then if I need more lacquer coats, I just re-apply the blistex. This prevents it from building up and having to wait for everything to cure before I can work on the frets.
Edit: it's important to polish the frets in advance so that the lacquer+blistex can't bind to any grooves of an unpolished fret.
That part of guitar building terrifies me with the sanding and clean up everything
Prep is everything when it comes to finishing. Sanding, pore fill, sanding. I use my hands to know if I've got things ready for the finish.
Lot's of good info. Finishing is definitely my weakest area but I'm slowly improving with each guitar.
Thank you!
I’ve finished to a high gloss and smooth finish for my own guitars and was afraid to damage it.. so I’ve copped-out and have been doing lesser finishes and “reliced” a few and really like the fact I cannot it on something and not worry.. thanks for posting it really helps us hobbyists
very good, comprehensive video. I'm not a purple guy but this looks very nice. The PG not so much.
Thanks for the video. Can you link to the sandpaper you use or prefer? You mentioned Eagle Abrasives, but not sure which type. Also, do you have a pad between the sander and the paper?
Do your telecaster and telemaster templates fit fender necks if i just want to build the body? Great videos
What brand of paint were you using?
What happened to the body with the extra electronics pocket?
My question is where do you get that apron that Hannah uses?
