Three humbuckers and a vibrato tailpiece set this single-cutaway kit apart: three ivory-ringed humbuckers fill the mahogany body, and a chrome vibrato tailpiece with an adjustable bridge lets you add gentle pitch bends and shimmer. The maple neck carries a bound maple fretboard with Abalone Pearloid trapezoid inlays, so the light board and the shell-look inlays stand out against the mahogany.

Underneath it is a set-neck single-cutaway build: a multi-piece mahogany body with no veneer, a maple neck that glues into a long neck pocket, a bone nut, chrome hardware, gold knobs, and an ivory pickguard and cavity covers to match the pickup rings.

Soldering 101

Do I need to solder electronics? Yes.

You wire the pickups, the controls and the output jack yourself. Every connection is a wire onto a lug, all of them inside one cavity, and you can redo any of them. Soldering is a skill you pick up in an afternoon, not a trade you need to have already.

Find the diagram for your kit

We publish a diagram for every pickup and control layout we sell. Match yours by pickup type and by how many volume and tone knobs your kit has. If you cannot tell which is yours, post your SKU on the index and we will point you to the right one.

Find your wiring diagram. You can also browse every diagram thread, or download them from our wiring diagram library.

What you need

A soldering iron, rosin-core solder and wire cutters. None of it is specialist equipment and none of it is included in the kit.

Never soldered before?

Start with our guide to guitar electronics. It covers what each component does and how to make a joint that holds. If a joint fails you can heat it and redo it. Nothing in the electronics is single use.

If your kit does not match the diagram

It happens. Kits vary slightly between production runs in wire colours and occasionally in components, which can make a general diagram confusing. You are not misreading it.

Send us your order number with a close-up of the wiring harness and a wider shot of the whole control cavity, and our wiring technician will send you the correct diagram for your kit or draw one for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the vibrato tailpiece do?

It lets you bend the pitch of all six strings slightly with the arm, for gentle vibrato and shimmer on chords and held notes. It works with the included adjustable bridge, and the strings anchor at the tailpiece rather than through the body.

How are the three humbuckers controlled?

The kit has four knobs and a three-way toggle switch, with an ivory-ringed humbucker in the neck, middle and bridge positions. You solder the wiring yourself, so you can choose how the middle pickup is wired.

What are the inlays made of?

They are Abalone Pearloid, a man-made material that looks like abalone shell. The trapezoid inlays are set into the maple fretboard at the factory, so there is nothing to install.

How hard is this kit to build?

It is rated Intermediate, 7 out of 10. The neck is glued in, the mahogany needs grain filling, and the fretboard binding should be masked or scraped after staining. See how we score every kit in our build difficulty guide.

How do I pick the right kit for me?

Take our quick kit quiz. It matches you to a kit based on your style and skill level. Every kit on our site also shows a difficulty score, so you can quickly see what fits your experience. Still unsure? Contact our Builder Success Team and we'll recommend one.

Can I swap the pickups, tuners, or other hardware?

Yes. Most of our kits use standard sizing for body cavities, mounting holes, and hardware, so aftermarket pickups from brands like Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, or EMG fit right in. Same goes for tuners, bridges, and nuts. Many of our builders play the kit as-is and love it, while others enjoy swapping in their favorite parts to personalize the sound and feel. That's the beauty of building your own, you can make it exactly how you want it.

Do you sell DIY guitar kit parts separately?

No, at the moment, we don't sell guitar kit parts (bodies, necks, hardware, etc.) separately.

How long does it take to build?

Build time depends on the kit and on you, so every kit page shows a difficulty rating to help you pick one that fits your experience. The biggest variable is the finish: an oil or stain is ready in days, while lacquer or polyurethane can take from one week to three months to fully cure.

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.

Safety note: rags used with an oil finish give off heat as they cure and can catch fire if left in a pile. Lay them flat to dry outdoors, or soak them in water, before you throw them away.

How do I care for the wood before I finish it?

Your kit is real wood with no finish yet, so it takes in and lets out moisture from the air. That can make the neck or body move a little.

Open the box in the room where you will build. Let the parts rest there for 2 days before you start. Keep the room at 40 to 60% humidity. Keep the kit away from heaters, air vents, damp basements and hot cars.

Your finish seals the wood and slows moisture changes, so finish it soon after you sand.

Check the neck when your kit arrives. If anything looks off, email us a photo and we will help. Read more about wood and humidity.

How long does shipping take, and do you ship internationally?

We ship to over 100 countries, and every order ships with a tracking number. Free shipping is available on U.S. orders and on many international kits: eligible free-shipping options appear at checkout for your location. Delivery time depends on which warehouse fulfills your kit, shown on the product page. In-stock kits from our U.S. warehouse usually arrive in 3 to 8 business days, a little longer around holidays, or worldwide from our international warehouse in 2 to 6 weeks. Pre-order and Custom Shop kits take longer (pre-orders about 3 to 6 months, Custom Shop about 8 months), with the timeline shown on the product page. If your order ships to a U.S. address, you pay no customs duties or import taxes, whether your kit ships from our U.S. warehouse or our international warehouse. Orders to other countries may be subject to customs duties or import taxes set by your country, which are the buyer's responsibility. See our Shipping Policy for details.
