Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, 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 filter
out microscopic particles.

SECTION 1: SAFETY

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 methods
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.

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 build this
project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for your own
safety. Read and understand the owners 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 serious 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.

The headstock is rough machined to fit all six
tuners on one side. These instructions will guide
you through the placement of the pegholes. The
pegholes must be drilled slightly undersized so
that the bushings will be tight. Correct placement
of the pegholes will make the tuner installation
easier.

We recommend you read through the assembly
section to gain an overview of the process before
beginning.

Components Needed Qty

Guitar Neck ....................................................... 1

To drill the pegholes in the headstock:

1. Center the nut in the nut slot and mark the

string slots on the fretboard with a pencil.
Make sure the larger grooves of the nut are
toward the top of the neck.

2. Remove the nut and align the leading edge
a machinist's square with either edge of the
nut slot. Use a pencil to extend the string
slot marks onto the headstock as shown in
Figure 6.

To shape the headstock:

1. Trace the headstock on a piece of paper. Test

various ideas for headstock shapes on paper
before cutting into the headstock.

2. Redraw your final headstock shape onto the
headstock with a pencil.

3. Cut the headstock out with a bandsaw or
coping saw. Be sure to cut only to the outside
edge of your pencil line.

Note: To cut sharp corners, cut several slots

perpendicular to the corner, then cut out the
small pieces. This will reduce binding on the
blade.

H8069 Heirloom Curly Maple Guitar Kit

Sanding Body

The guitar body was sanded at the factory, but
it is up to you to do the final sanding before the
finish is applied. To get a good finish, the body
should be sanded with a series of sandpaper
grits up to #320 grit.

Components and Hardware Needed: Qty

Guitar Body ....................................................... 1

To sand the guitar body:

6. Repeat Step 4 & 5.

Note: If you want to stain your guitar, the

stain should be applied now before con­tinuing with the next step. Stains cannot be
applied to the guitar body after the sanding
sealer is applied.

7. Apply a primer if you plan to paint the guitar
a solid color. Apply a coat of sanding sealer
now if you desire to see the wood grain
or if you stained the guitar. Use the sealer
or primer according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

1. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator and
ANSI-approved safety glasses when
sanding wood!

2. Use a flexible sanding block with #150 grit

aluminum-oxide sanding paper to sand the
guitar body until there is a consistent scratch
pattern on the entire surface.

Note: DO NOT round over the neck pocket

or the body cavities.

When hand sanding, always sand in the

same direction as the wood grain.

3. Resand the entire guitar body with #220 grit
sanding paper and lightly round over the
outside edges of the body.

4. Wipe the guitar body with a damp cloth to
“raise" the wood grain.

5. Wait until the wood is dry and resand the
entire body with #220 grit sandpaper to sand
the “raised" grain smooth.

Note: Make sure the primer or sealer you use

is compatible with your finish.

8. When the sanding sealer or primer is dry, use
#320 grit sandpaper for final sanding. DO
NOT sand through to bare wood.

Sanding Neck

Like the guitar body, the guitar neck was rough
sanded at the factory. Final sanding should be
done as described in the previous sub-section
Sanding Body. Consider applying inlays or addi­tional design work on the fretboard and head­stock before final sanding.

Note: If you are considering inlays or other
design work, take time to test your designs in
scrap wood before performing the work on the
instrument.

DO NOT sand the fretboard. Sanding the fretboard
will affect the playability of the guitar and could
lead to irrepairable damage.

Finishing Neck

Finishing options include stains, lacquers, var­nishes and oil finishes. Traditionally, this style
of guitar has a clear finish on the neck. Finishes
can be applied with a spray gun, brush, rag, or a
spray can. Finish materials and books on finish­ing instruments can be ordered through Grizzly
Industrial or numerous luthier supply catalogs.

Components and Hardware Needed: Qty

Guitar Neck ....................................................... 1

To finish the guitar neck:

Figure 11. Scraping finish off of the fretboard.

7. Let the wood dry naturally and completely.

8. Use a clean rag to wipe wood finishing oil on

the dried surface of the fretboard.

1. Mask off the surface of the fretboard. Carefully
press all the masking tape edges securely to
the fretboard. The finish coat can seep under
these edges, especially near corners, uneven
edges, and places where the frets meet the
fingerboard. (It can be a tedious chore to
remove finish from the fretboard.)

2. Make an "S" shaped hook out of
rod or a coat hanger that has been folded in
half.

3. Wipe the entire neck with a tack cloth to
remove any dust.

4. Thread the hook through the upper peghole
and hang the neck in the finishing room.

Most finishes are hazard­ous to your health. Wear a
NIOSH/OSHA approved res­pirator with particulate and
gas/vapor filters, safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and
work in a well ventilated area
when finishing.

5. Apply the finish according to Steps 5–10 on

the Finishing Body instructions.

Finishing Body

This guitar looks incredible with a clear finish that
highlights the wood grain patterns. The surface
can be stained prior to finishing or a transparent
pigment can be added to the finish. These instruc­tions guide you through a very basic finishing pro­cess. Books describing different guitar finishing
techniques are available through luthier supply
catalogs or through your local library. Clear finish
materials and books on finishing can be ordered
through Grizzly Industrial. Finishing a guitar is a
difficult task. If you are unsure of your skills; do
your research, practice on scrap wood, or take it
to a professional.

Components and Hardware Needed: Qty

Guitar Body ....................................................... 1

To finish the guitar body:

1. Mask off the neck pocket (Figure 4). Press

the masking tape tight against the edges of
the pocket so the finish does not seep under
the tape.

2. Screw through the neck pocket screw holes
into a long piece of wood to use for a handle
during spraying. Drill a hole in the end of the
handle for hanging from a hook.

6. Before wet sanding, remove the masking
tape from the fretboard and carefully scrape
any excess finish off the fretboard with a
razor blade or chisel held perpendicular to
the surface, as shown in Figure 11.

-10 -

3. Wipe a tack cloth over the entire guitar body
to remove dust.

4. Thread the hook through the temporary han­dle and hang the body in the finish room.

H8069 Heirloom Curly Maple Guitar Kit

5. Apply several thin coats of the finish, follow­ing the manufacturer's instructions. Multiple
thin coats usually produce a better quality
finish than one heavy coat.

6. Dry sand the entire body with #400 grit wet/
dry sandpaper after at least three coats of fin­ish have been applied. DO NOT sand through
the finish—be careful on the edges.

NOTICE

Dust particles suspended in the air will
settle on wet finishes, causing less than sat­isfactory results. To avoid this problem:

• Leave the finishing room undisturbed
for 24 hours prior to applying the fin­ish.

7. Use a tack cloth to remove sanding residue.

8. Apply more finish, sanding between coats,

until the finish is the desired thickness.

Note: If finishing with a solid color, you may

wish to apply several coats of a clear finish
over the top, sanding between coats, to add
depth to the finish.

9. When the final coat has dried at least a week,
preferably a month, remove the temporary
handle and masking.

10. Wet sand the finish using #600 grit wet/dry
sandpaper with a sanding block, followed
with #1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper.

11. Use a clean, absorbent rag to remove excess
water. Let the guitar dry completely, then use
a tack cloth to remove all residue.

12. Buff the finish by hand or with a buffer, start­ing with a medium polish and working up to a
high gloss polish.

Note: If you use a buffing machine, be care-

ful to avoid going through the finish, espe­cially on the edges.

• Avoid making unnecessary movements
when entering the finish room.

• Apply the finish to the desired guitar
parts and immediately leave the finish
room. DO NOT return to the room until
the specified drying time has elapsed.

Unless otherwise indicated, we strongly recom­mend using a drill press for the majority of drilling
to obtain the most precise results. However, an
electric/cordless drill fitted with a depth stop or a
drill stand can be used if you do not have a drill
press.

4. By hand, insert a
drilled neck pocket hole (Figure 18). While
pressing down slightly, twist the drill bit to
make pilot holes in the neck.

⁄64" drill bit into each pre-

We recommend using a hollow punch (see Page
24 in Accessories) to carve out holes in the finish
before drilling. Also, a router pad placed under the
guitar can help reduce scratches in the finish.

To mount the neck to the guitar body:

1. Insert the neck into the neck pocket (in
Figure 17), and check to make sure the neck

and body are flush.

—If there is a gap between the neck and the

body, lightly sand the high points on the
neck until it fits in the pocket.

5. Unclamp the neck from the body.

To determine neck mounting hole depth:

5

1. Secure a
set the neck and fretboard down on top of a
clean piece of scrap wood, set these on the
drill press table, then raise the table.

2. Set the drill press depth stop so the tip of
the bit will ONLY drive half way through the
neck. DO NOT drill through the fretboard.

Another way to determine neck mounting hole
depth (optional):

1. Insert the neck into the neck pocket.

2. Place the neckplate on top of the body so a

mounting hole protrudes beyond the body
and neck (see Figure 19).

SECTION 5: SETUP

General

2. Place a straightedge from the 1st fret to the

17th. Measure any gaps between the straight­edge and the frets with the feeler gauge.

Guitar set up is an art that requires skill, patience,
and experience. If you have the patience, you can
acquire the skill and experience. If you don't have
the patience, you may want to have your guitar
set up by a qualified guitar technician.

This section presents an overview of setup prac­tices. We highly recommended that you research
more in-depth methods. Books on setting up
electric guitars can be ordered through Grizzly
Industrial, luthier supply catalogs, or may be
available through your local library.

Neck Adjustment

The guitar neck was adjusted perfectly straight
before it was packaged; however, the moisture
content of wood acclimates to the humidity of
the surrounding environment. This characteristic
results in movement of the wood components
affecting alignment. The neck may require adjust­ment several times each year, particularly in
regions where the seasonal climate changes are
more drastic.

—If the neck is flat, or bowed up 0.012" or

less, the neck is set up correctly. Continue
to String Height instructions on Page 21.

—If the gap is greater than 0.012", or if the

neck bows away from the straightedge,
continue to Step 3.

3. Remove the strings from the neck, then
remove the neck from the guitar body.

4. Turn the truss rod nut in the base of the neck
(Figure 34) counterclockwise with a 4mm
hex head wrench to release tension on the
neck. Retighten until the nut begins to grab.

is the distance between the top face of the fret
and the bottom face of the string (Figure 35).

Pickup Height

Tuning

Pickup height can have a dramatic effect on the
audio output signal. The closer the strings are
to the pickup, the higher the audio output signal
will be. If the strings are too close, distortion is
caused by magnetic interference from the elec­tronic components.

Tools Needed Qty

Metal Straightedge .............................................1

Phillips Head Screwdriver ...................................1

To measure the string height at the pickup:

1. Measure the height of the 1st and 6th strings

at the pickup while the strings are “fretted" at
the 22nd fret (Figure 39).

/8"

Tuning is an important guitar concept. If the guitar
is not in tune, the resulting sound is unpleasant.
These instructions explain how to tune by ear.
You can also tune by using an electronic tuner
such as the Grizzly T23099 Chromatic Tuner
shown on Page 24.

—Turn the screws clockwise to raise the

height of the pickup.

—Turn the screws counterclockwise to lower

the height of the pickup.

3. Repeat Steps 1–2 for the other pickups.

To tune the guitar:

1. Play a Low E pitch on a piano, a tuning fork,

or an electronic computer file.

2. Play an open (non-fretted) 6th string and
adjust the tuner to match the Low E.

Note: Always tune up. If the string is tuned

high, loosen the string to lower the pitch,
then tune the string up to the correct note.

3. Tune the 5th string by playing the 6th string
while it is being pressed (fretted) at the 5th
fret, and then play the open 5th string. Adjust
the 5th string tuner until the notes match.

-22-

H8069 Heirloom Curly Maple Guitar Kit

4. Tune the 4th string by playing the 5th string
while it is being pressed (fretted) at the 5th
fret, and then play the open 4th string. Adjust
the 4th string tuner until the notes match.

5. Perform the same tuning step on the 3rd and
4th string.

6. When tuning the 2nd string, fret the 3rd string
at the 4th fret instead of the 5th fret.

Note: This can also be done with an elec-

tronic tuner by tuning the harmonic note to
be exactly in tune and then adjusting the
saddle until the note played in Step 2 is also
in tune.

3. Repeat Steps 1 –2 until the string is in
tune. Repeat the process for the rest of the
strings.

7. Tune the 1st string in the same manner as
the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.

Setting Intonation

Tools Needed Qty

Phillips Head Screwdriver ...................................1

Setting the intonation adjusts the length of the
string to correct for flatness/sharpness on each
string. This is a simple process that takes a lot of
trial-and-error.

To set the intonation:

1. Lightly touch and then release the 1st string

directly above the twelfth fret as you pluck the
string to play a harmonic note.

2. Now pluck the string while holding it fretted at
the twelfth fret. If this note is sharper than the
note played in Step 1, move the saddle away
from the neck by turning the saddle adjust­ment screw (Figure 41) clockwise. If this note
is flat in comparison, move the saddle toward
the neck.

Tremolo Adjustment

Tools Needed

Phillips Head Screwdriver ...................................1

To adjust the tremolo springs:

1. Remove the tremolo cavity cover.

2. Install the four tremolo springs as shown in
