EXP-style DIY Guitar Kits

Build your own DIY EXP-style guitar using one of these DIYĀ kits.Ā The EXP-shaped kits could be considered one of the easier to assemble DIY electric guitar kits with simple wiring, and the option for either set or bolt-on neck. The flat body and straight lines also make sanding and finishing a breeze compared to the more rounded contouredĀ solid body or hollow body kits.

If you have never assembled or finished an electric guitar before, the EXP-shaped body makes for a good starting point. In fact, we have a complete run-through showing all of the steps involved in assembly right here:
