Descrizione
This manual will give you information that you can use to do your own custom repairs on guitars. As with any project there is a great deal of time involved with learning to do things correctly, but I have found over the years that slowing down, doing things step by step, you can build what you want consistently every time.
This manual will provide that step by step instruction to guide you in learning to figure out what your needs are for a custom built guitar on a budget. Where to find the parts, how to do the work and more. I will build a custom SG in my shop. Change the scale on the guitar. Modify the neck to fit, wire it, install pickups and more. I will also give tips and pointers as I do the build and fully photograph it.
The guide is the second in the Guitar Works series and is fully illustrated with 70 images and descriptive text to guide you.
I hope you enjoy the following information, Geo Dell.

Information
FOREWORD
This is a build of an Epiphone SG. I wanted a slightly longer scale, more in line with other guitars I had played. I have played dozens of SG guitars, both Gibson and Epiphone. I like the body style and the way it felt in my hands.
I also like to build my own stuff. I suppose many of us do or else we would all be perfectly happy with what comes off the shelf and there would never be any innovation of any kind at all.
I will build this SG from parts purchased online over a two month period of time. I took my time. I had set a budget of $150.00 U.S. Dollars, and I didn't want to blow past that. I first wrote a list of the improvements I expected this guitar to provide me after modifications. I knew then that I would have to build it because I could not buy a guitar for $150.00 that would do all I wanted it to do.
In this guide I will show a neck pocket repair. I will show how to change the scale on the guitar as the SG had a 24.75 scale and the new neck had a 25
scale. I will show how to properly install a neck. How to install and set up the electronics. How to intonate the guitar, and I will provide some practical advice and tips along the way. All fully illustrated in full color. I hope you enjoy this build,

DECIDING ON THE PROJECT
I like to build my own guitars. Yes, it's nice to take something off the shelf and just play it, but once you put something together yourself and play it you just won't settle for that again.
I have built many guitars, some rebuilds of damaged guitars, some from scratch, both electric and acoustic.
For this build I wrote my list, set my budget and went to work. With in a few months I had all of the pieces I needed. That may sound like a lot of time, but I did this on the side as I bought stock for the guitar site. And I took my time as I said, I asked questions and I waited fro replays from those people. I learned to ask those questions the hard way after getting stuck a few times.
I decided that I wanted the body I spent the most time playing, an SG. Truthfully it had been years since I had played an SG. I Had long before that switched to Schecter and Washburn electrics, and Takamine acoustics, but I found myself thinking, maybe I had ended the relationship too soon, so I settled on an SG body for the build. After all there is nothing like that first guitar that does it for you. You pick it up and it all comes together when it didn't with another guitar in your hands. The SG was that guitar for me.
What I started with:
