Left Handed Electric & Bass Guitar Kits
Finding a good left handed guitar is hard enough. Finding a left handed guitar kit is even harder. We carry a dedicated selection of left handed guitar kits that are properly mirrored, not just flipped. The nut slots, the pickup angles, the control cavity, and the body contours are all oriented for a left handed player.
Our lefty kits include S-style, T-style, single cutaway, bass, and other body shapes. Every kit ships with the same components as our right handed versions: a pre-shaped body, a fretted neck, pickups, hardware, and full wiring. The only difference is the orientation.
If you are a left handed player who has been settling for a limited selection at guitar shops, building your own kit opens up real choices. You pick the body style, the finish, and the setup. No more playing a right handed guitar upside down or choosing from two models on the wall. Build the lefty guitar you actually want.

True Left Hand Orientation
Our lefty kits have properly mirrored bodies with correct nut slotting, pickup angles, and control placement, not just a flipped right handed kit.
Body Style Availability
We carry several left handed body styles including double cutaway, single cutaway, T-style, and bass configurations.
Nut and Bridge Setup
The nut is pre-slotted for left hand string order (low E on the right side) and the bridge intonation is set accordingly.
Aftermarket Compatibility
Standard pickup sizes and mounting patterns mean you can upgrade to aftermarket left handed or universal-fit components.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these actually left handed or just flipped right handed kits?
These are true left handed kits. The body shape, nut slotting, pickup routing, and control cavity are all properly oriented for left hand playing. They are not mirrored afterthoughts.
What body styles are available in left handed?
We carry left handed versions of our most popular body styles including S-style, T-style, single cutaway, and bass kits. Check this collection page for the current lefty lineup.
Can I use right handed pickups in a left handed kit?
In most cases, yes. Standard pickups work in either orientation. Some staggered-pole single coils are designed for right hand string spacing, so check the pole piece alignment before installing.
Why are left handed guitar kits a good option for lefty players?
Retail stores typically stock very few left handed guitars. Building a kit gives you full control over body style, finish, and electronics without being limited to whatever a store happens to carry.
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.
