Starting My Guitar

These are the steps in which I did my work...

  1. I cut i circle hole into the wood. (base of guitar)
  2. I carved grooves into the end of the wood so the tension of the strings wouldn't mess it up.

  3. I glued/screwed my can at the bottom of the whole. this will catch the vibrations and emphasize the sound.
  4. Next I screwed in "coat hanger" wire to my wood. This will sit the strings up so that the vibrations can occur.

  5. Then I screwed in the "eye screws" into both sides of the guitar and put the steel strings into the holes.

  6. The i tightened the strings.
  7. After all that I realized the steel wire didn't produce enough sound! I will buy some real guitar strings then just use those. But in the mean time, hears my guitar!
