Anyone Can Make Guitars
During my senior year of high school, I was required to complete a culminating Senior Project. The goal of the assignment was to develop a skill or passion of your choice, and then present a piece of original work to a group of your peers. I decided to combine two of my favorite activities-music and woodworking-and create my own guitar.
Like most kids in high school, I was a chronic procrastinator. A week before the project was due I still had nothing but a huge block of wood lying on my workstation. After spending several consecutive sleepless nights finishing the instrument, I finally put the last coat of finish on the morning it was due. After attaching the guitar strings, I rushed to school and arrived just minutes before my presentation was scheduled.
