WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles.

SECTION 1: SAFETY
These instructions assume that you are intimately familiar with the safe operation and use of
woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to repro-
duce this project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for
your own safety. Read and understand the owner’s manual for the machinery you intend to use,
take a woodworking class or visit your local library for more information. Woodworking machinery
and tools are inherently dangerous, because they use sharp edges that can and will cause seri-
ous personal injury including amputation and death. Do not underestimate the ability of these tools
and machinery to cause injury. Never operate any tool without all guards in place and always wear
approved safety glasses. For your own safety, please heed this warning.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or
reading glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the meth-
ods stated in this plan. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know
your skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method
with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same
result.

H3098 Western Guitar Kit -5-
The majority of the wooden components in this kit
are fully machined from the factory and are ready
for assembly. A small amount of drilling, sanding
and light machining will need to be performed to
complete the guitar.
Recommended Tools & Supplies:
—Phillips Screwdriver
—Needle-Nose Pliers
—Electric Drill
—Drill Bit Set
—#180, #240, and #320 Aluminum-Oxide
Sanding Paper
—Sanding Block
—Masking Tape
—Painting/Finishing Supplies
—Coat Hanger
—C-Clamp
—5mm Allen Wrench (Supplied)
—Tack Cloth
—Coping, Jig, or Scroll Saw (Optional)
The guitar body has been assembled and rough
sanded at the factory; however, no finish has
been applied.
To sand the guitar body:
1. Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and
safety glasses when sanding wood!
2. Using either an electric palm sander or a
sanding block, sand the guitar body
(EXCEPT the guitar neck notch, the edges,
and the sound hole) with #180 grit aluminum-
oxide sanding paper until there is a consis-
tent scratch pattern on the entire surface.
Note—When hand sanding, always sand in
the same direction as the wood grain.
3. Sand the guitar body with a #240 grit sand-
ing paper until there is a consistent scratch
pattern on the entire surface.
4. Sand the guitar body with a #320 grit sand-
ing paper until there is a consistent scratch
pattern on the entire surface.
5. Wipe the guitar body with a damp cloth.
Wiping the workpiece with a damp cloth
before the final sanding helps to “raise” the
wood grain; thus, allowing the “raised” grain
to be sanded smooth.
6. Once the guitar body is dry, repeat step 4.
7. Wipe the guitar body with a tack cloth to
remove all remaining sanding dust.

SECTION 4: SANDING
-6- H3098 Western Guitar Kit
Like the guitar body, most of the guitar neck has
been machined at the factory; however, the neck
headstock can be customized to reflect personal
taste. Additional cutting, inlay, or design work can
give an otherwise ordinary guitar that custom look
that sets it apart from others! Note—Take your
time with this sub-section and consider testing
ideas in scrap wood before performing the work
on the actual headstock.
To sand the guitar neck:
1. Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and
safety glasses when sanding wood!
2. Perform any custom cutting, inlay, or design
work to the neck headstock.
3. Using the sanding technique described in the
previous sub-section, sand the entire guitar
neck, EXCEPT for the fingerboard mounting
surface. Note—Sanding the fingerboard
mounting surface will affect the playability of
the guitar and could lead to unrepairable
damage.
The fingerboard requires no sanding. Note—
Sanding the fingerboard will affect the playability
of the guitar and could lead to unrepairable dam-
age.
The bridge is rough sanded at the factory. Final
sand the bridge as described in the Guitar Body
sub-section.

Attaching the neck to the guitar body is the most
crucial part of assembling the guitar. Failure to
attach the neck correctly could result in difficult
bridge and string adjustments, or even worse, it
could lead to unrepairable damage.
To attach the neck to the body:
1. Insert the four wooden dowels into the holes
on the side of the body. Note—DO NOT use
glue at this time!
2. Slide the neck dowel holes onto the wooden
dowels.
3. Using a straightedge, note the portion of the
neck protruding above the surface of the
body (Figure 4).
4. Using sandpaper or a file, flatten the neck
until it is flush with the surface of the body.
5. Before the neck can be glued to the body,
two critical points must be verified:
a. The truss rod grooves in the neck and
body must align perfectly.
b. The neck surface and the body surface
must be perfectly flat. Note—Use a
straightedge to verify this critical point.
Once the neck is glued to the body, little
can be done to correct mistakes.
6. Disassemble the neck and body, and re-
assemble with wood glue. Note—DO NOT
wipe glue squeeze-out at this time! Once the
squeeze-out has dried, scrape it off with a
sharp chisel.
7. Once the desired neck position is achieved,
use large rubber bands to hold the assembly
during drying (Figure 5).

Once the neck/body assembly is completely dry,
the truss rod can be installed.
To install the truss rod:
1. Test fit the truss rod into the truss rod chan-
nel. The masking tape side faces down into
the channel.
—If the face of the truss rod is higher than
the face of the neck and body, then the
truss rod channel needs to be deepened
before continuing to the next step.
—If the face of the truss rod is flush with the
face of the neck and body, then continue
on to the next step.
2. Using an epoxy glue, secure the truss rod
into the truss rod channel so the truss rod
cap screw head can be seen through the
sound hole (Figure 6). Note—Make sure the
masking tape side of the truss rod faces
down and that the surface of the truss rod is
flush with the surface of the neck and body.
3. Wipe the glue squeeze-out from the truss rod
with a damp cloth.
The position dot holes have been predrilled into
the face of the fingerboard.
To install the position dots:
1. Place a small drop of glue in each position
dot hole.
2. Using a hammer and a scrap piece of wood,
tape the position dots into each of the holes.
Note—Sand the position dots flush with the
fingerboard surface.
