Wood and Climate

If your shop runs cool, use a finishing product rated for lower temperatures or set up a warm drying area for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does shipping to Canada cost?
Shipping costs depend on the kit size and your province. You can see the exact shipping rate at checkout before you pay. We work to keep Canadian shipping as affordable as possible.
Will I have to pay duties on a guitar kit?
Canadian customs may assess duties and taxes on imported goods. The amount depends on the declared value and your province. Most builders report reasonable duty charges on our kits.
How long does delivery take to Canada?
Most Canadian orders arrive within 7 to 14 business days. Delivery times vary by province and the time of year, with holiday periods sometimes running a few days longer.
Can I return a kit from Canada?
Yes. Our return policy applies to Canadian orders. Contact our support team to arrange a return if you are not satisfied with your kit.
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.

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.

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.
