Electric Guitar Building Course – (pre-shaped) The Hague · 2 days

Nowadays, there are thousands of videos on the internet about guitar building. People explaining how it “should” be done. Which parts you need. Which finish. Which setup.

But you don't learn to truly understand an electric guitar from a screen.

You learn that by holding the parts. By understanding why one guitar plays so differently from another. Why a pickup picks up that signal. Why every setting changes the feel of the playing.

And that is exactly why this course exists.

No dry theory. No school-like explanations. Just two days in which you assemble a complete electric guitar — from individual parts to a playable instrument that you take home at the end.

What are you going to do?

Day 1 — Assembly & finishing

• Learn how every part of an electric guitar works and why.
• Connecting and wiring pickups, potentiometers, and a switch
• Join neck and body
• Apply color and finish of your choice

Day 2 — Setup & Adjustment

• Set action: string position for optimal playing comfort
• Adjusting the intonation so that the guitar is also in tune high on the neck
• Installing tuning keys and tuning correctly
• Understanding what each setting does for sound and playing feel
• How to maintain and adjust the guitar yourself at home

Your guitar, your choice

Do you want a classic look? A rugged relic? A luxurious boutique vibe? Or a deep Cherry Burst, Tobacco Burst, or bright Sunburst?

Lacquering and finishing therefore receive ample attention. You will learn how colors blend into one another, how transparency works, and how to create a finish that looks as if it has witnessed years of music.

No two guitars are the same.

For whom?

Many people start out insecure. “Can I really do this?” “I’m not technical enough.” No prior knowledge of electronics or woodworking is needed — for anyone curious about the technical side of the instrument, whether you have been playing for years or have never picked up a guitar before.

And it is precisely those people who stand at the end, proudly holding a completely self-built instrument in their hands. Almost no one ever forgets that moment.

Included
