bjsim Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Help please anyone build a Phin guitar before? I am very interested in making my own Isaan Phin Guitar. I would very much welcome any help, images or drawings/notes on construction of an electric guitar of the Phin Guitar type. I have seen Youtube videos of Isaan music and I just LOVE the sound of the electric Phin guitar. Will of course share details of my build, and photographs, on a separate webpage. But please, if you know how to build one, or have any guides I would be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemorechang Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Hi I was told you can buy parts and ready made phins in China town Bangkok in the music shops there. ( not been myself ) Now my advice to you is buy a ready made one and modify it yourself. The most important thing is find one with a straight neck, they do not have a truss rod . So this is the number one thing. also the cheap Phins don’t have real frets set into the neck, Just wire laid on the neck in a slight groove and varnished over, fret it yourself. There is no separate fret board on the cheap Phins. its all done on one bit of wood with a dragons head glued on the at the machine head end. Hope this helps.
