In Stock DIY Guitar Kits
This is our complete catalog of DIY guitar kits. Every style we carry is here: solid body electrics, semi-hollow builds, acoustic kits, and bass guitars. Each kit arrives with a pre-shaped body, a carved neck, tuning machines, a bridge, pickups, and all the wiring you need.
We designed these kits for builders who want a real instrument, not a toy. The wood is properly dried, the frets are installed, and the hardware fits without modification on most builds. Your job is the finish work, the wiring, and the final setup.
If you are new to building, start with a bolt-on solid body kit. The neck attaches with screws, so alignment is forgiving and you can adjust it later. More experienced builders might want a set-neck or semi-hollow kit for a bigger challenge. Either way, our kits ship with everything you need except finishing supplies and a few hand tools. Browse the full collection below and filter by body style, pickup type, or price to find your next build.

Body Style
We carry S-style, T-style, single cutaway, double cutaway, V-shape, semi-hollow, and several other body shapes to match your playing style.
Neck Joint Type
Bolt-on necks are easiest to build and adjust, set-neck joints offer more sustain, and neck-through construction provides the smoothest upper fret access.
Scale Length
Most guitar kits use a 24.75 inch or 25.5 inch scale length, which affects string tension and the spacing between frets.
Included Electronics
Check the pickup type, potentiometer values, and switching layout. Some kits include coil-split wiring for extra tonal range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a DIY guitar kit?
Every kit includes a pre-shaped body, a fretted neck, tuning machines, a bridge, pickups, pots, a switch, a jack, knobs, and all mounting screws. You supply the finish, solder, and tools.
Can I customize a guitar kit?
Yes. You can swap pickups, change the finish, upgrade tuners, and modify the wiring. Many builders use our kits as a starting platform and personalize from there.
How do these kits compare to a factory guitar?
The raw materials are comparable to instruments in the 300 to 500 USD range. The difference is that you do the finish work and setup yourself, which means you control every detail of how it plays and sounds.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide from both US and international warehouses. Check the product page for shipping estimates to your country.
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.
