Offset Guitar Kits

Offset guitars are defined by their asymmetric body shape, where the waist of the guitar is shifted so the body sits at an angle on your lap. This was originally designed for seated players, and the ergonomic advantage holds up. Offset guitars are some of the most comfortable electrics you can play sitting down.

Our offset guitar kits feature the classic contoured body with bolt-on neck construction. Pickup configurations vary across kits, from single coils that deliver bright, chimey tones to humbuckers for warmer, thicker output. The offset body shape is naturally resonant, giving these guitars a slightly airy quality that you do not get from heavier solid body designs.

Offset guitars have become the go-to shape for indie, shoegaze, surf, alternative, and dream pop. Their unique tonal character and striking visual profile make them stand out from the traditional double cutaway and single cutaway shapes.

These kits suit beginner to intermediate builders. The bolt-on neck joint is forgiving, and the contoured body is straightforward to finish. If you want a guitar that looks different, feels great, and has a tone all its own, an offset kit is an excellent choice.
