Description
This kit contains (nearly) everything you need to build a 2x4 Strummer Guitar following Ben Gitty's how-to plans - you just provide the 2x4!
The kit includes Ben's how-to book, with over 70 photos and diagrams throughout 45 pages. In it, he walks you through the steps in a clear, approachable way, explaining terms and concepts as he goes.
The parts he shows in the book are the exact ones included in the parts pack provided in this kit:
- 3 open-gear tuners & mounting hardware (2 right/ 1 left alignment)
- 3-string Set of Open G G-D-G strings for 23-inch scale
- 6 chrome "cup-style" string ferrules"
- 3 string retainer screws
- 1 six-foot set of Medium/Medium Fretwire, plenty for fretting this instrument.
It may sound crazy, but with only basic tools and know-how you can build your own guitar from a 2x4, for less than $40!
