This page from the STEM Guitar Project provides a number of videos on the design and manufacturing of guitars. Videos cover topics like performing basic wood repairs on guitars, soldering and wiring techniques, gluing fretboards to guitar necks and assembling the pickups to the pickup rings. Video...

This video, from the LEAD with Guitars in STEM project, demonstrates the use of a buffing wheel on guitar bodies after the wet sanding process. The host, Doug Hunt, explains the importance of the buffing process and introduces viewers to the components of the buffing wheel and how it works on the...

This video, from the LEAD with Guitars in STEM project, demonstrates the process of buffing a wet-sanded guitar body without the use of a mechanical buffing wheel or in places where the wheel can't reach. The host, Doug Hunt, introduces the two car products he'll use before demonstrating the process...

This video, from the LEAD with Guitars in STEM project, demonstrates the process of spray painting a sealed electric guitar body with a can of spray paint. The host, Doug Hunt, explains the process of preparing the guitar body for painting, and offers some tips and tricks for the spray painting...

This video, from the LEAD with Guitars in STEM project, demonstrates the process of wet sanding the body a guitar after spray painting in order to prepare it for buffing and polishing. The host, Doug Hunt, explains the importance of wet sanding before demonstrating the set-up process and the...

This webinar from the STEM Guitar project provides information on the transition to remote learning for the Summer 2020 STEM Guitar Remote Institutes and was created for Institute participants. The STEM Guitar project engages high school and college faculty and students in hands-on guitar design and...
