Building your own guitar is fun — firstly — and secondly you may end up with a good custom PBass for a good price.
But, if you want — you can build a super high-end guitar a bit more or incredibly more expensive. Your choice!
If you have all the parts and no disastrous mismatches then you can construct and setup your guitar in under 4 hours.
Content:
— all Precision Bass components, how to get them and what pitfalls to watch out for
— how to convert that heap of metal and wood to a great instrument
— minimum set of tools, suitable for the one-time builder
— how to set up the result (neck relief, radius, intonation, playability etc)
— overview of serial numbers and dating of Fender guitars as aid when buying stuff
— guitar electronics
— some more subjects of interest; frets, tonewood, common problems, making a new nut etc.
The book has been written on basis of a number of projects done by the author (that's me) with some 100 photographs in colour.
Have fun, Bert
