► We need to use a router to shape the edges and recesses of guitar bodies.
In a recent question on the UK Amateur Guitar Builders Facebook Group, Martin was asked which router bits are used for the builds we do at GuitarAssembly.
In this video, Martin is going to walk you through which router bits we use, and tell you why you only need one ¼ inch router to complete any guitar build.
The router and bits featured in the video are:

Please allow a couple of stupid questions from a total router noob... When you use a template profiling bit to cut out a body contour, you need to first create a space in the workpiece, flush to the template, where the bit can start, right? If my thinking is correct, do you use a drill bit to create a hole where you can then put the router bit? Or can you actually 'drill' your way down straight with the router bit itself? I have seen in other videos people start with Forstner bits in pickup cavities and neck pockets, but don't think I have seen how they start when they cut out the contour.. 2. Is your plunge router actually a 1/4 inch, or is it 1/2 inch with an adapter for using 1/4 inch bits? (I was given a 1/2 inch plunge router with an adapter and wonder if it would be ok to use it like that, or if I need to only use 1/2 inch bits with it for stability reasons.)

Good video. What do you use for cutting out the recesses for inlays? I just read your article about lemon oil - very interesting. I'm going to use my cheap bottle of lemon oil on furniture now and not on my guitar. Cheers.

@GuitarAssembly 3 года назад

Hi Alex, thank you for watching its nice to have positive feedback. Personally i cut my inlays by hand with a scalpel and chisel. But if you're wanting to route then a dremel with a router base on is what you will need, with a small down cut inlay bit.

@AlexTonnerKingDugong 3 года назад

@@GuitarAssembly I'll definitely go with a scalpel and chisel. The same with the purfling, as I understand there is some sort of guided blade-type device for doing it. The plan is to get away from power tools completely. I'm in the process of building my first guitar. It's a Les Paul Junior and the neck joint wasn't easy to cut out by hand - I got through quite a bit of veneer. But I suppose the more I do it, the better I'll get. There's good information on your website and I'll keep watching here. Cheers.

Hi there Really informative video I´m re-building a kit telecaster and I´ve ben searching for a 2 mm x6.3 router for the cream plastic binding to no avail could you point me in the rigth direction thanks and cheers from Austia

@GuitarAssembly 9 месяцев назад

Hi Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed my video. There are suppliers for "binding" cutters but generally expensive. All I do is purchase a flush cut bit and various sized bearings, then replace the original bearing with a smaller bearing. Please feel free to contact me on the guitarassembly Facebook page I'll happily guide you on what you need to do.
