Solid body electric guitars are the foundation of modern music. No acoustic chambers, no hollow spaces, just a solid slab of tonewood that translates string vibration into pure electric signal through your pickups.
This collection brings together every solid body guitar kit we carry, from single cutaways and double cutaways to offset bodies, V-shapes, and angular designs. Whether you want a warm, thick humbucker tone or bright single-coil snap, there is a kit here that matches your playing style.
Solid body kits are the most forgiving for first-time builders. The thick body blanks are sturdy during finishing, the weight gives you confidence while working, and the straightforward construction means fewer things that can go wrong during assembly.
Every kit ships with a pre-shaped body and neck, all hardware and electronics, and a step-by-step build guide. Pick your body style, choose your wood, select your finish, and build the guitar you have always wanted.

View full detailsSingle cutaway for warm sustain, double cutaway for upper fret access, offset for balanced seated play.
Humbuckers for thick driven tones, single coils for bright clean articulation, or a combination for maximum versatility.
Bolt-on necks are easier to work with and adjust; set-neck and neck-through designs offer more sustain.
Mahogany delivers warmth, basswood offers balanced response, and ash provides bright attack with defined low end.
Double cutaway bolt-on kits (S-style and T-style) are the easiest to build. The bolt-on neck joint is forgiving to assemble, and the body shapes are straightforward to finish. Start there if this is your first build.
A solid body guitar has no internal chambers, giving you a focused, direct tone with strong sustain and no feedback at high volumes. Semi-hollow guitars have routed chambers that add warmth and air to the tone but can feed back at high gain.
You need basic tools: screwdrivers, sandpaper, a soldering iron for the electronics, and finishing supplies. No woodworking power tools are required since the body and neck come pre-shaped.
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.

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.
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.
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.
