Step 1 - Guitar Kit Explained! and Project 1 - Head-stock Neck Design


In this post you will see video of me going through the different aspects of the Guitar Kit I am building.   I also go through the process of Head-Stock Design.
  • Inventory Kit Parts
  • Practice Head-stock Design

What skills were integral to completing this task? 
  • Need to be thorough on counting your components
  • 10 in 20 brainstorming activity (make 10 design attempts in 20 with no judgement)
Reflective component: 
  • How could you improve this process?
    • I would make sure you have parts check list to make sure all parts there
    • I would make the design process digital so can using layer and coloring technique in 3D software
  • To complete this task you will learn safely how to use these tools and use brainstorming techniques like 10 in 20 to make your design a reality on your guitar.

  • It is important to measure twice and cut once making sure you stay away from the no-fly zone areas.


Watch me explain what is in your guitar kit!


Print Copies of No-Fly Zone template.

use the template in a photoshop based program or can us 3D editor to help create your design
so can render it to see if any issued on all surfaces.
