Instead of being mean why don't you help him a bit?

A guitar electric variety needs a neck, body, strings, and pickups. everything else is optional.

those knob things at the end that tune the strings are the first upgrade that guitar makers consider.

Electric guitars should be a lot easier to make than acoustic guitars because the microphones do the amplification of the sound and the body is there just for structural support.

I would guess that re-fitting the internals of a cheap electric guitar onto a wooden plank would be a good exercise for figuring out what each of the electrical components do. After that, it's simply applying that idea to a self-made guitar body.

Most electric guitar bodies are made out of two wooden pieces bolted together at the base of the neck. All guitars I've come across have an adjustable metal rod inside the neck that is used to fix any curvature of the neck caused by either the wood itself or the tension of the strings (I don't really know which, I just play them). The frets are simply metal pieces attached to hardwood and even they are optional; fretless bass guitars are quite common.

There are build-your-own-guitar kits that contain all the necessary parts but you do the woodworking yourself. Looking at a kit might be a good way to figure out what is needed for the body.

Odds are high that you'll fuck up your first attempt one way or another. Getting a proper fit neck fit and getting the guitar to intonate properly can be a fucking mess.

By all means do it, but don't expect a one off deal. Commit and keep making them until you're satisfied.
