String musical instrument formed by a hollow wooden box of elongated shape with a slight narrowing in the middle part, a circular hole in the center and an arm (mast) along which the strings are extended (usually six) and in the end of which the pegs are placed, which allow the instrument to be tuned.

Origin

The origins and evolution of the guitar are not too clear, since many similar instruments were used in antiquity, so it is usual to follow the trajectory of this instrument through the pictorial and sculptural representations found throughout history. There are archaeological evidences in bas-reliefs found in Alaça Hüyük (north of the current Turkey) that around the year 1000 a. C. The Hittites and Assyrians created string instruments similar to the lyre (the simplest and oldest string instrument in the world) but with the addition of a sounding board, so they would be the ancestors of the guitar. Representations have also been found in drawings of ancient Egypt that resemble the guitar

1.- Plan the construction of your guitar. Decide what type of guitar you are going to build and select the parts you are going to use.
2.- Make a graphic plan of the guitar. Plasma in the graphic plan the size of what you want to do the guitar.
3.- Make a template with the shape of the guitar.
4.- Buy or make the neck of the guitar.
5.- If you decide to do the neck yourself, do not forget to put the frets.
6.- Get a saw and cut the body of the guitar. The guitar bodies are made of ash, linden, mahogany or walnut.
7.- Get a router and carve the neck cavity, this can vary in size, you just have to pass the router a bit at a time.
8.- Choose a configuration:
SSS, SSH, HSH, HH, H, HHH, SS or HS
s is a single coil and h is the tablet.

9.- With the router, make the slot where the tablet will be installed.
10.- Paint the body of the guitar.
11.- If you are going to use pills (kind of microphone for the strings), buy them.
12.- Find a diagram on the internet to make the electrical connections. Maybe you need to buy a capacitor.
13.- Get an amplifier. They are very useful, although you may think that is not the case.
14.- Install and connect everything and start playing your guitar.
