What you see is what you get
We've photographed each set individually—what you see pictured in the first image is the actual wood you'll receive. Zoom in and check out each set's unique figure, grain, and every detail of your kit's back, sides, and top and get ready to build your dream guitar.
This is no ordinary OM guitar kit, this limited edition WOODSTAX kit showcases our hand-selected premium tonewoods. With highly Figured Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum) back and sides together with our lightest and stiffest Engelmann Spruce (Picea engelmannii) tops—you'll create a truly show-stopping guitar.
Sets of this wood are extremely rare, and only come along once every few years. As a result our supply of these exhibition grade sets is EXTREMELY limited. It's very likely when these are gone we won't be able to get more of this quality. So don't wait, these are sure to sell out quickly.
Figured Sapele is visually stunning with a warm, familiar tone. Tonally it’s dry, fast, and articulate. It’s perfect for players looking to stand out in the mix. Paired with the tight grain, uniform color, and loud projection of Engelmann Spruce, your custom guitar will fill any room with bold and dynamic sound.
You don't need a shop full of tools
Perfect for beginners or pros alike! If you don't have all the specialized tools you need to thickness sand tops or bend sides, or you want a head start that will save you hours of build time, this is the kit for you. All of the critical work is done so you can start and finish this build with ease. When you open the box, you're ready to build.
These are just a few of the complicated steps that are done for you:
- Carving the neck
- Joining, thickness-sanding, and profiling the soundboard and back
- Cutting the soundhole and routing the rosette channel
- Accurately bending the sides
But wait, it gets even better...
