I’m not exactly sure but I think that you need templates for each part of the guitar. You might need some industrial equipment. You can try making a guitar out of old guitar parts, but you can make one all by yourself. You need some wood for the neck and body(try using something like mahogony, maple or basswood. Darker wood gives a really nice sound but lighter wood is okay. It’s up to you), nickel alloy or stainless steel for the frets, metal/ plastic for the tuning knobs and nylon or steel for the strings. You can try experimenting with differnet matrials to see which one makes the best sound. Maybe look it up online or check to see if there’s any books at the library because guitars have lots of parts and it can be very complicated.
