3 Assembly instructions

Provide the following tools and materials for the assembly of the guitar:

nPhillips screwdriver

nRubber mallet

nRing wrench

nPliers

nVarnish and accessories

nSandpaper

Body and neck should by all means be painted before assembly.

When applying spray lacquer or paint, you must wear a dust mask.

3.1 Painting body and neck

The solid wood of the guitar body is sealed and prepared for various types of lacquer

coating. A wide variety of nishes can be procured from DIY, timber and automotive

outlets in aerosol cans making nishing straightforward without requiring specialist

skills.

The rst step is to check the t of the body to the neck joint. These components are

machined from high-grade tonewoods to ensure optimum alignment. Since wood is

a natural material, however, its shape changes slightly over time. If the t is too tight,

you can adjust it using a sharp chisel or sandpaper. Please remember that the addi‐

tional lacquer coat will make the neck t a little more tightly into the cutout.

Before coating the body, ensure that all surfaces are clean and free of dirt and dust.

Carry out all painting operations in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment. Consid‐

ered and careful working is a key factor for a qualitatively satisfactory result. It is

highly recommended that you rst try out the colour and technique on another

piece of wood.

Paint the body edges rst and let them dry. If the edges are dry, go on with front and

back side. By layered, successive application you can achieve a uniform coating struc‐

ture. If you notice surface irregularities, wait until the paint has dried completely and

correct them with ne sandpaper (e.g. 800+) before proceeding to paint. For full cov‐

erage apply three or more layers.

Wait another two to three days to dry until the paint is fully cured. Polish or burnish

the body until it meets your expectations. Take care not to bu too vigorously as this

may remove the nish.

Painting the body

Assembly instructions

do it yourself kit

The guitar neck is sealed with a thin layer of matt lacquer before delivery and is ready

to use. If you still want to treat the neck with coloured or clear lacquer, proceed as

follows.

Carefully mask o the ngerboard and all frets before painting. Make sure that all sur‐

faces are free of dust and dirt. Carry out all painting operations in a well-ventilated,

dust-free environment.

For the neck, use a clear or slightly tinted wood paint of good quality. Start on the

front and at the edges of the headstock. Apply a thin layer evenly, let it dry and

repeat the process two or three times. If you notice surface irregularities, wait until

the paint has dried completely and correct them with ne sandpaper (e.g. 800+)

before proceeding to paint.

Once the headstock has dried, place the neck on the ngerboard and paint the back

of the neck as described.

Wait another two to three days to dry until the paint is fully cured. Polish or burnish

the neck until it meets your expectations. Take care not to bu too vigorously as this

may remove the nish.

3.2 Mounting the machine head

Insert the four machine heads from the rear side of the headstock into the bores.

Align the machine heads so that the tuning pegs are perpendicular to the top of the

headstock.

Fix the machine heads as shown in the gure in this position hand-tight with the sup‐

plied screws.

Neck nish

Assembly instructions

Electric Guitar Kit DC Style

Turn the neck and fasten all the machine heads nger-tight to the front of the head‐

stock with the washers and nuts provided.

Tighten the nuts on the front with an appropriate spanner, then tighten the screws

on the back rmly to fasten the tuners.

3.3 Mounting the guitar neck

Place the body on a suitable work surface. Use a soft pad in order to avoid damage to

the surface. Insert the neck into the neck cutout. If necessary, use a sharp chisel or

sandpaper to adjust it. Be very careful when removing material. The neck should be

tight and never have too much clearance in the cutout!

Assembly instructions

Electric Guitar Kit DC Style

Turn the guitar over, position the mounting plate over the four screw holes on the

back of the body and screw the four supplied long wood screws through the holes in

the mounting plate into the body and neck until the connection is rm.
