Well, just like that, we say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. The holidays are over, the resolutions have been made, and maybe you're feeling that familiar post-holiday slump. You know what the perfect cure for that creative itch and a great way to shake up your regular six-string routine is? Getting your hands dirty with a DIY guitar project!
I’m no stranger to guitar mods, switching out pickups, replacing tuners, and I’ve even turned my hand at putting together a couple of kit builds too – one was a rather stringing bright pink Firebird-esque electric. There is something so rewarding about building an instrument with your own two hands, and it’s a great way to learn more about what goes into producing a playable guitar. Of course, you don’t need to limit yourself to just guitars; there is also a wealth of pedal projects to get stuck into as well.
