Premiere Strat Build 2021 - Part 02 - The Strat Neck - Simply Elegant
Here is part 2 of the 15-episode premier Strat building series. This series is modeled after the beginner’s guitar construction class that I teach at a local community college. If you are new to guitar building…this will give you all the knowledge you need to be successful. Of course, you will need some basic woodworking ability…and at least some tools as needed. I require that my class students build either a Tele or Strat type guitar for their first build. They are simple…yet amazingly efficient. Leo Fender was an absolute genius…inventing things that are still widely used over 60 years later.
We will be using the Maximum Guitar Works template system. The basic seven piece Strat set includes the body and pickup rout template, the neck pocket template, the back tremolo template, neck template, fretboard template, the standard pickguard template, and the rear tremolo cover template. The complete basic template system includes safety grips and hardened steel drill bushing for alignment and accuracy. This template set that will be used in this video series sells for $295 plus shipping. There are other options available, please ask for any special needs. To order, contact us at info@maximumguitarworks.com, or use the contact page or phone number on our website (www.maximumguitarworks.com)
Learn more about the template systems through my past YouTube videos.

Premiere Strat Build 2021 - Part 01 - The Secrets of Making Strat Templates
We are continuing our all new series…the greatest, most complete, and overly detailed lessons on how to make a Strat style guitar. Fender style guitars are the best guitars to build for people new to the guitar building scene. They are simple…yet amazingly efficient. Leo Fender was an absolute genius…inventing things that are still widely used over 60 years later.
This series is based upon my personal electric guitar teaching curriculum at a local community college. Although I believe an in person learning experience is still best…that is not possible for most people. This series is designed to give you the knowledge and guidance needed to build a great Strat of your own. There will be a minimum number of tools required…some are more important that others…but where there is a will…there is a way.
