If you tuned into our last YouTube Live course you learned how to build a custom pedal... Now learn to build a guitar to go along with it!

If you ever wanted to build your own guitar, but didn't know where to start, this live build along series is a great place to start. In this 4-part series (which begins on October 19th, 2020) we'll show you step-by-step how to build, wire, and set up one of our fantastic mini guitar kits.

Even if you are a complete beginner, don't worry... we've made this easy -- no workshop is required. You can literally build this on your kitchen table with tools you probably already have.
