Double-Cut DIY G-Style Guitar Kits
The double cutaway set-neck guitar is one of the most played electric guitar designs in history. Its lightweight mahogany body, slim profile, and deep cutaways give you effortless access to every fret on the neck.
These kits feature a set-neck joint where the neck is glued into the body, creating a tight connection that transfers vibration efficiently for rich sustain. Combined with dual humbuckers, you get a thick, aggressive midrange that cuts through any mix.
The thin, flat body makes this one of the lightest electric guitar designs you can build. If you play long sets or just prefer a guitar that does not weigh you down, this is the body style to choose.
Our double cutaway set-neck kits include everything you need: a pre-shaped mahogany body and neck, rosewood or ebony fretboard, humbuckers, bridge, tuners, and all wiring. The set-neck joint comes pre-fitted, so your main focus will be finishing and final assembly.

Body Weight
These are naturally lightweight guitars, typically under 7 pounds, which makes them comfortable for long playing sessions.
Neck Access
The deep double cutaway gives you full access to the upper frets without reaching over a bulky heel.
Set-Neck Fit
Check the neck pocket fit before gluing. A tight, clean joint is critical for sustain and tuning stability.
Pickup Spacing
Dual humbucker routing is standard, but some kits offer coil-split wiring for single-coil tones too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a set-neck joint differ from bolt-on?
A set-neck joint is glued into the body, creating a permanent connection that transfers vibration more completely than a bolt-on. This gives you more sustain and a warmer tone, but it also means you cannot easily remove the neck later for adjustments.
Is a double cutaway set-neck kit good for beginners?
It is a moderate build. The set-neck joint comes pre-fitted, but the thin body requires careful handling during finishing. If you are comfortable with basic tools and patient with the glue-up, you will do fine.
What music styles suit this guitar shape?
This design is at home in classic rock, hard rock, blues, and punk. The midrange-forward humbucker tone and lightweight body make it a stage favorite across many genres.

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.

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.

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.
