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 every grainline, every detail, and every inch of your unique back, sides, and top and start building your dream guitar.
You dont't need a big shop
Perfect for beginners or pros alike, if you don't have all the specialized tools you need to thin tops or bend sides, or you want a head start that will save you hours of build time, 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 complicated steps are done for you:
- Carving the neck
- Bookmatching the soundboard and back
- Cutting the soundhole and routing the rosette channel
- Accurately bending the sides
The woods and materials are comparable to a $5000 factory-made instrument, but without your personal touches. With this top quality kit, it's never been easier to start your building journey.
But wait, it gets even better...
