LP-style DIY Guitar Kits
Our single cutaway guitar kits deliver the thick, sustaining tone that has driven rock, blues, and hard rock for decades. The combination of a mahogany body, a carved maple top, and a glued-in set neck produces a warm, fat sound with plenty of midrange punch. Add two humbuckers, and you have a guitar that roars when you dig in and sings when you back off.
The single cutaway design is one of the most iconic shapes in electric guitar history. The arched maple top adds visual depth and tonal brightness to the warm mahogany foundation. Our kits include the carved top already shaped, so you are not starting from a flat slab.
Each kit includes a mahogany body with a maple top, a set-neck mahogany neck, two humbucker pickups, a tune-o-matic bridge, a stop tailpiece, and all electronics. Set-neck construction requires a careful glue-up during assembly, which makes this kit an ideal next step after you have completed a bolt-on build. The payoff is a tighter neck joint, more sustain, and that unmistakable thick tone.

Set-Neck Joint
The neck is glued into the body pocket rather than bolted, which creates a more rigid connection and transfers vibration more efficiently for better sustain.
Maple Top Grade
Some kits feature a flame or quilted maple veneer on top, which looks stunning under a translucent finish. Plain maple tops work great under solid colors.
Humbucker Pickups
Standard kits include dual humbuckers with a three-way toggle switch. The bridge humbucker handles high gain and crunch, while the neck position delivers smooth leads and warm cleans.
Body Weight
Mahogany bodies with maple tops can be heavy. Some builders prefer weight-relieved models if you plan to play standing for long sets.
Binding
Some single cutaway kits include body and neck binding for a more polished look. Binding requires careful masking during finishing but adds a lot of visual appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is it to glue a set-neck joint?
It requires more care than bolting on a neck, but it is not as difficult as it sounds. Dry fit the neck first, apply wood glue evenly, clamp firmly, and let it cure for at least 24 hours. The key is taking your time with the fit.
What makes a single cutaway kit sound different from an S-style?
The mahogany body and set-neck joint produce a warmer, thicker tone with more midrange. The humbuckers add output and reduce noise. An S-style is brighter and snappier with its single coils and bolt-on neck.
Can I get a translucent finish on the maple top?
Yes, and it looks fantastic. Use a dye or tinted lacquer over the maple to let the grain show through. Flame maple tops are especially striking under amber, cherry, or tobacco burst finishes.
Are these kits suitable for beginners?
We recommend completing a bolt-on kit first if you have never built a guitar. The set-neck glue-up is the main added challenge. If you are comfortable with woodworking basics, you can start here.
