Guitar Kits Australia

Building a guitar kit in Australia gives you access to a custom instrument without the wait times and costs of importing a finished custom guitar. Our guitar kits ship to Australian addresses and include everything you need: a pre-shaped body, a finished neck, pickups, hardware, tuners, bridge, and all electronics.

We carry electric, bass, and acoustic guitar kits in dozens of body styles. Whether you want an S-style double cutaway, a single cutaway with humbuckers, a semi-hollow build, or a 4-string bass, the full catalog is available for Australian delivery.

Australian builders should factor in shipping times from our international warehouse and be aware that GST and import duties may apply at the border. Most kits clear customs without issue, but delivery times vary depending on your location and current processing speeds.

The Australian guitar building community is active and growing. Many of our Australian customers are repeat builders who started with a single kit and now build regularly. Join them by picking your first project from the collection below.

Shipping and Duties

Australian orders may attract GST and import duty at the border. Check current Australian customs rates for musical instrument kits before ordering.

Climate Considerations

Australian humidity and temperature swings can affect bare wood. Let your kit acclimate to your workshop environment before starting the build.

Body Style

We ship all body styles to Australia, including S-style, T-style, single cutaway, semi-hollow, V-shape, and bass kits.

Kit Completeness

Every kit includes body, neck, pickups, hardware, and electronics. You supply the finish, sandpaper, a soldering iron, and basic hand tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you ship guitar kits to Australia?

Yes. We ship to all Australian states and territories from our international warehouse. Shipping times depend on your location and current customs processing speeds, but most orders arrive within two to three weeks.

Will I need to pay import duty on a guitar kit shipped to Australia?

Australian customs may charge GST and import duty on guitar kit shipments depending on the declared value. Goods over 1,000 AUD generally attract duty. Check the Australian Border Force website for current rates on musical instrument parts.

Which guitar kit is best for a first-time Australian builder?

An S-style or T-style bolt-on electric guitar kit is the easiest starting point. The bolt-on neck is forgiving to assemble, the body shape is straightforward to finish, and the wiring is simple enough to learn on. Start with a solid body electric and work up from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do I need to build a kit guitar?

Depending on the type of guitar you buy you may only require tools and materials for finishing the guitar (painting) and soldering.

Screwdrivers, sandpaper and sanding block. Finishing supplies e.g. paint, stain, and clear gloss, ventilation mask, coping saw or jigsaw if shaping the headstock.

With this small list of inexpensive tools, you will be up and running and ready to build your electric guitar in no time.

Recommended reading: Luthier Tools for DIY Guitar Kits.

Does the kit include everything to build a working guitar?

Our stock kits contain all necessary parts (unless stated otherwise on the product page).

How long does it take to complete a guitar kit?

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.

Do I have to solder the electronics?

Most of our kits require basic soldering. If you're new to it, check out our wiring guide here.

If you don't want to solder, or don't have the tools, our solderless guitar kits use plug-and-play wiring. No iron required.

What finishing options can I use on my guitar?

You can use stain, paint, or oil-based finishes. Learn more about finishing techniques here.

Our advice: use a reference. In most cases, this will be a guitar you particularly like the look of and want to create something similar.

To view the latest DIY guitars from our community follow us on Instagram and visit our Customer Reviews page.

How good will my finished kit guitar sound?

It's defined firstly by the components you use and secondly the workmanship that goes into putting it all together.

Watch the community section of our YouTube channel to learn how kit guitars sound.
