Guitar Class, 4th Period Thursday
"Buenos Dias class. Today we're going to continue on our guitar manufacture. We've talked about the structure of the guitar, now we're going to talk about materials. Guitars have been made out of wood for years beyond count, although with electric guitars, there has been something of a migration towards plastic.
"However, we do not have the equipment, nor do I have the time to show you how to make an electric guitar. So we will instead focus on the wooden acoustic. Now, I've gone and obtained you some Koa wood for your guitars. Don't ask me how.
"This is considered among the best kinds of wood for guitar making, due to various accoustical properties. This stuff is quite rare, so we'll be saving it until the end. Next class, we'll begin working in the Danger Shop with fake wood for practice. For now, though, I've provided you with several guitar plans as well as drafting paper of your own. Go on and select both the physical shape of your guitar, as well as what you will put on it to make it unique. What about this guitar will make it yours?"
