I’m on guitar build no:6 now, a bass for a change. All planning is done, detailed plans drawn up, hardware and wood 80% purchased etc. It’s time to start the woodwork. At this stage I always seem to have the same problem. I don’t remember what I’m doing! I can never seem to remember what to do and in what order, and needless to say it’s important to do some things in the right order. Every time I tell myself to make notes, and every time I just don’t do it well enough, or lose them.
To that end, does anyone know of any online resource that has that sort of info with text and maybe pictures as well? I know that there are a lot of videos on how to do everything these days, but I don’t want to sit through hours of videos looking for the info I want, I’m just looking for quick reminder reference materials.
There was a really useful web page that I used to like called something like ‘Telecastle’, and some guy did exactly that, building a guitar and going through everything in order with lots of pix. It was ideal but now it has gone.
Do you guys just remember everything? Or do you have your own reminder stuff?

- Very specific to a certain build;
- Too high-level to be of real value; or
- Full of so many permutations that it's not worth making
There's probably a middle ground version of 2. that would work, more of a decision flow though rather than a process one.If there's interest then I'll take a shot at it, otherwise I'll be in the back, napping.
Sometimes it's A -> B -> C -> D -> E
Sometimes it's B -> A -> D -> C -> E
etc
There are probably a few "always do this before you do that, otherwise you won't be able to do something else (at least, not very easily)", but it's more an art than a science ...
If doing binding.. Do it before you glue the neck in...
Dont drill the output hole till after you have done the binding

I don't think the diagram is comprehensive or even particularly accurate but it might be of some use?
I was trying to do A > B > P > Z > X.
