WoodStax Pau Ferro Triple-O Guitar Kit, Bolt-on Neck - 103
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 000-size guitar kit, this limited edition WOODSTAX kit uses our hand-selected premium tone woods. We combined a striking Pau Ferro (Machaerium scleroxylona) back and side set with a straight-grained and torrefied AAA Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) top for a rich, played-in tone for a combination that's visually stunning and sounds fantastic.
Pau Ferro sports the visual distinctions of strong black grainlines, rich golds, browns, and sometimes green shades often combined with striking variegation. The visual appeal is somewhat similar to Rosewood, but with much more prominent grain variation. This contrasts well with the exceptionally straight-grained torrefied Sitka Spruce, which has a warm light caramel color that compliments the appearance of Pau Ferro.
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
