20" Radius Sanding Block

The hard "rock" maple block is used to create a slight but accurate radius on the fingerboard using PSA adhesive back sandpaper.

Sanding block can also be used with a clamp while gluing stuborn frets.

International customers, please inquire for shipping rates.

Spool Clamp

Spool clamps allow you to clamp the top of the guitar without the stress from awkward, heavy steel cabinet clamps. Typically, 25 spool clamps will be enough clamps to get you good pressure all the way around. You can never have too many clamps, especially if you are working on multiple guitars at once.

International customers, please inquire for shipping rates.

Acoustic guitars make the perfect woodworking project. Whether you're a professional musician or simply an interested wood worker, building a guitar is a very satisfying project. Guitar Building Basics presents tree, start-to-finish assembly sequences. Each sequence uses high quality color photography to illustrate every step of the process; from gluing on the top and bottom of the guitar, to installing the strings and sanding the frets for a perfect set up.

The assemblies include everything from a fairly simple renaissance guitar kit to a full dreadnought guitar assembled in a professional shop. With the help of this new Guitar Building book, nearly any amateur woodworker can buy a guitar kit and assemble the whole thing at home using basic woodworking tool. The key is patience and a good set of instructions-provided by this new book with over 500 color images spread across 144 pages.

This book will provide several examples of guitar building from the perspective of unique kits from U.S. Guitar Kits and Musicmakers, to guitar making schools and high end production manufacturers, to the tools of the trade as well as finishing.

Scott Dixon was interviewed and over thirty pages of the book features those discussions on the formation of U.S. Guitar Kits, steps to build the kits as well as the U.S. Guitar Kits Class Program being held across the U.S.

U.S. Guitar Kits is proud to be featured in this most recent book on Guitar Building.
