E35 Semi-Hollow Body Guitar Kits
Assemble a semi hollow electric that balances acoustic richness with focused sustain. This thin (43.5mm) body DIY E35 kit features a double cutaway laminated body, center block for controlled resonance and reduced feedback, and classic F hole styling that produces open mids, smooth highs, and a rounded low end response.
Designed for tonal versatility, the E35 platform excels in blues, jazz, soul, rock, and modern clean or driven tones. It delivers warmth and clarity for rhythm work, while maintaining articulation and dynamic sensitivity for melodic lines, expressive bends, and chord extensions. The semi hollow design provides a responsive feel that reacts to touch and technique.
Each kit is built for straightforward assembly with pre routed cavities, carefully cut tonewoods, and well fitted joints. Finish and customize it to your vision, from vintage bursts to sleek modern builds or worn aged aesthetics. Once complete, the E35 offers studio ready balance, stage friendly feedback control, and a tonal spectrum suited to both clean articulation and rich overdrive.

Our stock kits contain all necessary parts (unless stated otherwise on the product page).
It depends on the choice of finish. For instance, when you paint or stain a guitar you will need the surface to dry and harden (cure). This can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 months depending on your choice of finishing product.
You will find the guitar dries to approximately 90% very quickly but the final 10% takes some time. If you can’t wait that long you could try tung oil or wax finish but bear in mind the finish won’t be as durable and protect the guitar as effectively.
Most of our kits require basic soldering. If you're new to it, check out our wiring guide here.
You can use stain, paint, or oil-based finishes. Learn more about finishing techniques here.
Here is some advice that will help steer you in the right direction, use a reference. In most cases, this will be a guitar you particularly like the look of and want to create something similar.

Find a guitar image online with a finish you particularly like, print it out and reference it often.
When audio engineers first start out they are told to use a reference point in the form of a studio recording to get an impression of how the guitars should sound, this is exactly the same principle.
It’s defined firstly by the components you use and secondly the workmanship that goes into putting it all together.
