Hy Doc, colleagues welcome
Do you mean a glossary rather than a guitar parts list?

Hi, I'm new around here.......I am considering building my first guitar and I am very excited about this project. I am currently doing research and I am looking for a resource that will tell me the "official" names to all the parts of an acoustic guitar. Preferably a document that I can download on line. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks, Dr. P |

Doc, welcome to the OLF. Have you thought about getting some books or DVD's for starting your inevitable life sentence with the rest of us. Two of the inmates here at the OLF have DVD's on building guitars and both I've heard are excellent John Mayes (AKA. the procrastinator, kind of like the terminator, only different) has several instructional DVD's here. And Robbie O'Brien (sorry Robbie, don't have an AKA for you) also has instructional DVD's here. Hope this helps somewhat and I wish you success with your first build. |

Old man is right ... Stewart MacDonald (link in the sponsors list near the top of this page) offers a ton of free information. What you're looking for can be found in either the i-5295 Dreadnought Guitar Kit or the i-5297 Triple-O Guitar Kit publications. You'll find those by going to the Free Information link on their home page. I've been told that StewMac kits are first rate. Some of our other sponsors also offer great kits. The variety of parts and materials required to make a guitar can be pretty intimidating. Many luthiers have gotten off to a great start with a kit that gets them over some of the hurdles. Good luck and welcome to the OLF! |

I get it - Pain, Doctapayne, Doctor Pain. Only took an hour... I just finished a Stew-Mac 000 kit for my first guitar and can tell you it was a pleasure. PERFECT way to start down the long winding luthiery road. While there are a million ways to build a guitar, the Stew-Mac instructions are great and get you good results. Highly Recommended. Another thought for the StewMac kits. It would be VERY cool if they provided additional selections for each of the items required for a complete build. Like more back/side variations, regular/reverse kerfing, various purfling/rosette options. No need to piece part a guitar if they expanded selections. |

I'll second John Hall. He'll get you started on the right foot and help you make it a successful first effort. Welcome aboard, Doc! BTW...what's your specialty? |

I'll second the DVDs from John Mayes. I bought them and have watched all 10. They're outstanding...easy to understand, thorough, etc. Money very well spent. |

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I will definately look into the resources everyone mentioned for more information. I am going to pursue an acoustic guitar for my first build. And I think the recommendation of a kit is a great way to get my feet wet. As for the parts of the guitar that I was inquiring about....I meant more in line with Bridge, Tuners, Neck, Sound Board, Sides, Back etc....This may be more in line of a glossary of sorts than a parts list. Sorry for any confusion. Does anyone recommend the following books for a person just starting out: Lutherie Tools from the G.A.L. Subscription to the G.A.L. What other books would you recommend? |
