The Electric Guitar

The DS-Telecaster

This is an electric guitar I built fully from scratch. I had made a few other guitars before this, so could apply my acquired knowledge to make this fully functional.

Timeline:

June 2018

Started the build

I had just started he process of building the guitar. I wasn't aware of the intricacies but was very determined to finish it.

August 2018

Finished the body 

I finished making the body, but hit a few first dead ends.

-The frets were not available.

-Such a small bridge wasn't available in the market

-Such small pickups were not available in the market.

With no choice and a lot of time and effort already invested in the project i decided to make my own bridge and pickups from scratch. I made the bridge from an old l clam lying around at home and the pickups by winding copper wire around neodymium magnets.

January 2019
