Welcome friends to the fun part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned to play the guitar many years ago and for years I have done the majority of my own maintenance and Repair. It should be no surprise that I decided to open a guitar setup and repair shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the ways I learned how to maintain my own guitars was by reading books and magazine articles. My own ability grew quickly when I began to take my own guitars apart in order to diagnose verious problems and perform needed repairs. A great feature about this intrument is that most guitars, especially electric guitars are put toether with easily accessible screws, nuts and bolts. Making a guitar requires some fairly complex tools and machinary, but taking one apart and repairing it can be done with a small set of tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next few chapters of this series I am going to show you how to disassemble a telecaster guitar and put it back together. Along the way I will replace and upgrade some of the components with better quality parts in an effort to “hotrod’ the guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definition: Hotrod From Dictionary.com
verb (used with object)
hot-rodded, hot-rodding
1. to drive (a vehicle) very fast.
2. to adapt (a vehicle or its engine) for increased speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So to hot-rod a guitar is to adapt a guitar for increased speed…. and I would add make it cooler, louder and make it the guitar you want to play to impress others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
