For my senior project, I built an acoustic guitar. I spent almost 30 hours on this project, and finally finished over the weekend. My finished slideshow presentation captures my dedication and the overall process. The only thing it doesn’t capture, though, is the mistakes I made along the way. The stories about my mistakes didn’t make the slideshow because it was already pushing the time limit without them. I still think it’s important to recognize what went wrong and what I learned from it, so I’ll do that in this blog. A huge mistake I made was placing the fretboard up much too high, leaving no space for the nut to be glued on. I had to use an iron to reheat the wood glue and peel off the misapplied fretboard, which completely damaged it. I then had to buy another fretboard and redo the gluing process. Fixing this mistake cost me many hours, and it was horribly mundane. Despite how annoying the process was, it taught me that it’s important to consider future steps, even if you don’t think your current step will affect them. It’s also important to make sure your measurements are perfectly accurate, and taking a few extra minutes to perfect your lines beats spending four hours fixing an avoidable mistake.
