This is no ordinary kit, this limited edition WOODSTAX dreadnought kit uses our hand-selected premium tone woods. We combined a totally unique and beautiful AAA Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) back and side set with our lightest and stiffest AAA Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) tops so you'll create an absolutely stunning guitar.
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 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
While Wild Grain Rosewood can sometimes be a challenge to work with—we've taken care to select pieces that are stable, flat, and well behaved. We've precisely bookmatched and joined the back and cut it to shape. Now you can build your dream guitar with this visually striking and fantastic sounding wood.
But wait, it gets even better...
