I’m pretty excited to be here in Dayton, Ohio for the week, participating in the STEM Electric Guitar Building Program at the Sinclair Community College Guitar Lab. This awesome program is funded by the National Science Foundation and run by Professor Thomas Singer along with his amazing crew of instructors. I’ll be bringing this excellent training back to my students at UTEC in Lowell, MA to teach them how to build guitars while introducing them to CNC manufacturing technology.
The body is Alder wood with a Flame Maple top. The neck and headstock is Maple, with a dual action truss rod. The fingerboard is Zebrawood with black fret markers. The scale length is 25-1/2”. The finish will be multiple thin coats of True-oil, which not only brings out the natural beauty of the wood, but offers excellent protection due to its superior hardness properties.
