In case you missed Part 2 of our DIY Guitar build, I covered cutting the guitar body to rough shape on the bandsaw, resawing the top of the guitar, routing out the chambered areas of the body, and gluing the body back together. Check it out before watching Part 3!

Build Steps:

The first step that appears in the video is me routing the neck pocket. DO NOT DO THIS! The only reason I did this is that I mistakenly routed the neck pocket previously and I need to fix my mistakes. Routing the neck pocket is one of the last things you should do to the guitar body before final finishing.
