How to make a first-hand guitar

The modern handmade piano is definitely not made by hand and flat. Appropriate tools can make the parameters of each part of the guitar more accurate and detailed. Therefore, at present, the domestic manual piano is divided into full manual and semi-manual in terms of production engineering.

1. Semi-manual: At present, most guitars still need to be processed by the guitar factory, so when customers need to order a guitar with mainstream shapes (such as st, TELE, LP, Ibana RG, etc.), the factory only needs to mill the shape according to the usual patterns and customized wood, and then process the details according to specific requirements (such as whether it is glued? What kind of pickup slot or front and rear circuits, etc. )

2. All-manual: When the guitar shape required by customers is unique (such as self-design, there is only one shape in the world), this situation is more troublesome, all parameters are brand-new, and molds need to be processed. This way of customization is more expensive, for the simple reason that wool is on sheep, and it takes 2 ~ 300 yuan to make a set of molds. In addition, if there are many personalized details, a lot of manual processes are needed. If you want to add an arc to a certain position of the piano head, you need to repair it by hand. . Usually the final pricing depends on the difficulty of production. I suggest you pay attention to this part, it's really cheap and there's nothing good. If you need to customize a practical handmade piano with a small budget, I suggest that you try not to put too much energy into pure appearance modification.

Where will I learn about the processing of handmade pianos? Wood and processing? And then what? Accessories selection? This paper introduces the purchasing methods of general handmade guitars from two aspects. The so-called universal guitar refers to the traditional guitar with fender ST, plug-in (LP, PRS) or full-body linkage (ESP high-end model).
