Doing Things Wrong

Jigsaw

You can build a guitar with just a jigsaw. It will do everything you need to do, it just won't do it as well as a scroll saw or bandsaw. The biggest problem with a jigsaw is that the blade is only fixed at one end. It stays fairly perpendicular when cutting straight, but will get pretty crooked cutting curves, especially in thick materials. If you are going to use a jigsaw, cut well outside your lines and sand-in.

This is another factory guitar, vintage 1960s, made by Danelectro and sold exclusively through Sears. The 1448 was one of the cheapest electric guitars in the Sears catalog, but it came with something special - it's own amplifier built into the hardshell case. There is almost no wear on this guitar, I don't think it was played much.
