Building Guitars

## How To: Build an Electric

Most of the wood components of the mod are geared towards building electric guitars. The guide is a bit lengthy as making a guitar is a multi-step process, however it is doable in early-game, only requiring more logging than mining. Making an acoustic is even more straight forward once the player is familiar with the input slot layout. *(The mod's \*supported\* versions are usually tested with JEI as well in case the guides lack anything minor).*

#### Body Construction

1. Break any vanilla leaves to find a guitar-wood sapling and bonemeal it. This may be a challenge depending on your luck.
2. Put the logs in a stonecutter to receive 2 lumber.
3. Craft Woodglue.
4. Craft a guitar-blank using the Woodglue and 2 lumber.
5. Plane the guitar-blank in the Autoplaner block to receive one Planed Blank.
6. Put the Planed Blank in the stonecutter to choose and receive one Body Blank of your choice (See Table Below)

Sneak-Place the Body Blank on top of the Luthier Bench to start sanding it.

Sandpaper (Grit 80)Sandpaper (Grit 140)Sandpaper (Grit 250)
* **Sanding:** When sanding, particles will appear to let you know you are using the correct grit. When using the wrong grit, fireball particles will be emitted instead of green ones. Sanding too fast or carelessly has a 50% chance to make a message appear, "(-1 Stage)", meaning you reversed a sanding stage by using the wrong grit. Messages appear in the action bar (the location of bed messages since 1.11).
	1. Right click the Body Blank with 80 grit until the message "(Gritted)" appears. Has a 40% to happen.
	2. Right click the Body Blank with 140 grit until the message "(Smoothed)" appears. Has a 25% to happen.
	3. Right click the Body Blank with 250 grit until the message "(Sanded)" appears. Has a 15% to happen. You are now done sanding.

1. Use the Paint Stand to spray paint the Sanded Body Blank. You will need some paint buckets and a paint gun.
3. You will see a short-lived paint animation.

#### Neck Construction

1. See **Body Construction** steps **1** & **2** above.
2. Put the lumber in a stonecutter to receive 3 neck blanks per lumber.
3. Plane a neck blank in the Autoplaner block to receive one Planed Neck Blank. **-Important: You will need at least 1 neck blank that is not planed.**
4. Put the Planed Neck Blank in a stonecutter to receive 3 plates per lumber.Rosewood Planed Plate RecipeRosewood Fretboard Recipe
5. Either use a left over neck blank, or cut a new one and put it in a stonecutter to create a Neck Template.
6. Use the template to craft a neck. *(Guitar Hero Neck included as well)*Fender Neck (Unfretted)PRS Neck (Unfretted) (Rosewood)Gibson Neck (Unfretted) (Mahogany)Ibanez Neck (Unfretted) (Rosewood)PRS Neck (Unfretted) (Rosewood)Acoustic Neck (Unfretted) (Rosewood)Acoustic Neck (Unfretted) (Ebony)Acoustic Neck (Unfretted) (Spruce)Guitar-Hero Controller Neck (Black Wool)
7. Apply hardware to the neck by crafting the neck with tuners and frets. You have now completed a neck. (See Recipe Guides in Home Page for exceptions.)

## How To: Build an Acoustic

    There are currently only three acoustic models in the mod, and they are all constructed using the Luthier Bench.

1. Plane a pressure plate of any wood type in the Autoplaner block to receive one Planed Plate.
	* *Vanilla and NG's non-vanilla pressure plates work. Only non-vanilla ones can be used for fretboards.*
2. Put the Planed Plate in a stonecutter to cut either an Acoustic Board or Acoustic Side.
	* You will need: (**2x**) Acoustic Board, (**2x**) Acoustic Side
3. As seen in the example GUI, you may use 8 buttons of any wood-type surrounding the 4 Acoustic Parts.
4. When all ingredients are in place, place one Woodglue in the woodglue-slot. It will be consumed, and you will then see a metal clamp progress bar. An Acoustic Template will be ready in the amount of ticks equivalent to one complete Minecraft day cycle (24000 ticks / ~20 minutes).

### Trivia

* All models are accurate to their factory 'specs', and more often than not are strictly based off guitars with serial numbers to retain accuracy.
* A "Clamp" tool was originally going to be required for acoustics, but this feature was never implemented in order to balance the mod's realism.
* While there are wood components for every type of wood, not all parts are useful in every wood. For example, body blanks that are not included in the "Body Blank" Table have no function in game.
* Some of the construction process is simplified. Real maple necks tend to be one-piece instead of the in-game method of fretboard & template.
