Could you make a vintage electric guitar replica with a router bench?

Posted by GuyMcLaren on August 8, 2008 under Woodwork Plans

I am thinking this would be totally possible. Now lets get onto why I started thinking about this. I visited the Vintage Electric Guitar blog and noticed a really pretty wooden guitar on the cover of the book he recommends. This got me to thinking so I searched for Vintage Electric Guitar plans and found only installment plans to buy Vintage electric guitars. So instead I searched for electric guitar plans and found a number of sites offering these.

I think in the next few months I will build a Vintage Guitar replica from plans, I will do this on tape so you can see how effective a router bench really is. We are going to have to find a nice chunk of hardwood, I think African Rosewood will be a good base. I know we are going to have to laminate up a nice block before we get started.

So far I have traced plans for the following Vintage Electric guitars. Maybe a Vintage Electric guitar buff can advise me which would be the best one to choose.
