How to create an electric bass guitar via wood lamination and other various woodcrafting techniques

Step 2Building Materials You Will Require:

Building Materials You Will Require:
The basics of what you will require to begin this project will be as follows:

1. Wood for the neck blank: For the first run through I recommend getting wood that is cheaper in price. You will need enough wood to create the dimensions 3 feet by 3 inches by 3 inches.

2. Wood for the body: I would recommend any type of maple; ash is also a choice wood. You will need enough to fill the dimensions of around 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 inches.

3. Wood Glue: I would recommend getting Elmers stainable wood glue. If you have another choice of stainable wood glue then that should work just fine. I went through about two bottles of glue during this project.

As far as for the basics of materials these are it. All other materials needed will be listed when they are used.
