This is all you ACTUALLY need for guitar building and modding (tools list 2020 update)

You don't need a big fancy workshop with big expensive tools to build your dream guitar. Don't let your circumstances define what you are capable of! You can get into guitar building and modding with just basic hand tools that most DIYers already have! Heres what I use (sort of in order of appearance):
