Roy Ponce's Electric Guitar, Chapter 1




Roy Ponce, a fantastic guitarist for the rocking mid-western band Brainchild (www.brainchildjam.com/) and Colorado's Marshwood Guitars have been brought together to create a one-of-a-kind instrument. Working from Roy's specifications and drawings this Jaguar influenced guitar is going to be fun to build. The challenge is going to be to capture the essence of the Jaguar and yet make it independent of its roots as well. The first step in the process is to find some full-scale plans. The next step is to draw a full scale model with the alterations to scale length, nut width, etc. I have also priced out all of the materials necessary: electronics, fret wire, hardware, etc. Once I have a good idea of what I want to do and what I need it is time to go find some wood.
