Design Your Own Electric Guitar

Are you ready to lay down the blueprint for your very own custom guitar?
The course contains full instructions and a library of templates to create your own original guitar design and working drawing. It covers all aspects of designing a solid body electric guitar, including vital information on construction styles, wood, hardware, bridges, tuners, pickups , electrics and much more!
The design will be a real working drawing of a guitar and the course will guarantee success if you do go ahead and build.
The guitar designed in this course will be made in the next course – Build Your Own Electric Guitar.

To get the most from this course it is highly recommended that you have already completed my other course Design Your Own Guitar – this is why it is included here for free.
I do recommend using a pre-made fretboard for your first build but have included two methods of making your own, just in case you are determined to do it the hard way!
Joining this course gives you access to a community of builders and enthusiasts, all working through the course – and I will be live-streaming regular Q&A sessions.
You can ask me any question directly, or start an open discussion with our enthusiastic students. Remember you can watch the films over and over again.
If you want to kickstart your course, we have a kit with all the materials you’ll need to build your own guitar! Get your kit

Mark Bailey
Mark Bailey is one of the UK’s most experienced guitar makers. He started his Guitar Making Revolution over 2 decades ago, running short courses in a community workshop and a double decker bus.
Then the internet arrived, and info became more accessible but not always easy to follow… so Mark applied the same step-by-step approach to making instruction videos and launched the digital GM revolution in 2016.
After building professionally since a teenager, he is on a mission to make it easier for everyone to achieve their guitarmaking dreams at home
