Automotive paint will work. It is usually acrylic enamel nowadays. Watch out for certain types of polyurethanes as they can be quite toxic. By the time you buy...

Titebond seems to be pretty much athe standard glue for building instruments from what i can see from various posts around the web/various groups. My biggest...
Some may think I'm crazy, but I switched from Titebond to Elmer's Carpenter Glue years ago due to some advice from another builder. I was having some issues...
Good morning, I am new to guitar making, but want to change that. I am looking forward to participating in this group and expect that the group will help me...
Which Yamaha and which Martin? Martin is fairly consistent and builds a higher end guitar where as Yamaha produces guitars from low to high end. The low ends...
From a steel string builder perspective....Could be some of the Yamaha might be made of laminates, where the Martin is of solid woods. That could be ...
I own an FG75, undoubtedly one of the lowest of the lower-end Yamahas, and it plays quite well. I upgraded the tuners and made some other mods over the years....
Hi, Are you looking to build, repair, buy? Martin 'nylon' string guitars and Yamaha 'classical' guitars are both production line made guitars. Martin has one...

Greg is right on about those kits. Stewmac is great because you can get the video which is extremely helpful. You can watch all the steps being done. Also,...
I had heard recently that a fretboard made from any of the various rosewood species tends to not be as durable as one made from ebony. I was wanting to make a...
Ebony seems to "hold" the frets well without the use of super glue. However, if you use the glue in the Rosewoods, they'll work just fine as far as worrying...
