Left Handed Electric & Bass Guitar Kits

As a lefty, you're faced with the reality that you can't try out a lot of guitars or basses from online retailers because most right-handed guitars and basses aren't even made for left-handed players! When you finally find one, that is, it's often a costly model and not something you'd be able to afford.

At Guitar Kit World, we make it easy for lefty players to build the instrument they’ve always wanted. We offer a complete range of left handed guitar kits, left handed bass kits, and specialty styles including:

  • Left handed semi-hollow guitar kits – perfect for warm, expressive tones
  • Left handed hollow guitar kits – lightweight and resonant with classic character
  • Left handed semi-acoustic guitar kits – ideal for blues, jazz & versatile tones
  • Left handed bass guitar kits – great for DIY bass builders of any skill level
  • Left handed solid body electric guitar kits – for rock, metal, and custom builds

We offer more than 40 different lefty body shapes — one of the largest selections of DIY left-handed guitar kits in the world. Whether you're a first-time builder or an experienced luthier, you’ll find everything you need to build your perfect instrument.

All of our Custom Shop kits are also available in left-handed versions, so you never have to compromise on style, tonewoods, or hardware.

Browse all of our left handed guitar kits below and start building the guitar or bass you've always wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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.

Most of our kits require basic soldering. If you're new to it, check out our wiring guide here.
You can use stain, paint, or oil-based finishes. Learn more about finishing techniques here.

Here is some advice that will help steer you in the right direction, 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.

Find a guitar image online with a finish you particularly like, print it out and reference it often.

When audio engineers first start out they are told to use a reference point in the form of a studio recording to get an impression of how the guitars should sound, this is exactly the same principle.

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.
