Event Details

Learn to make a primitive one- or two-string guitar, wind your own
pickups, and rock out!  In this class, you'll turn a piece of scrap
wood into a simple electric guitar.  All materials are supplied except
the wood - please bring a sturdy 2-3 foot length of scrap wood such as
a pine 1x2 (or heavier), a broomstick, or even a nice strong straight
branch from a fallen tree.  You'll learn the basic acoustics and
electromagnetics behind electric guitars.  The class involves light
use of hand and power tools, and soldering - no soldering experience
necessary.

$75 + $5 materials

This class is taught by NYC Resistor member Ranjit Bhatnagar as part
of his Noisy Noises project, in which he spends every February making
a new primitive musical instrument each day.

All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up.  Sorry, minors.
