Southpaw Electric & Bass Guitar Kits
If you’re a southpaw, you already know the struggle: most guitars and basses on the market simply aren’t built for left-handed players. Trying out new gear can be frustrating, and when you do find a lefty model, it’s often a pricey exception rather than a real choice.
At Guitar Kit World, we put left-handed players first. Our Southpaw Collection makes it easy to build the instrument you’ve always wanted with a full range of left-handed guitar and bass kits.
With more than 40 unique lefty body shapes, we offer one of the largest selections of DIY left-handed guitar kits in the world. Whether you're a first-time builder or an experienced luthier, you’ll find everything you need to craft your perfect southpaw instrument.
All of our Custom Shop kits are available in left-handed configurations too so you never have to compromise on tonewoods, style, or hardware.
Browse our Southpaw Collection below and start building the guitar or bass you’ve always wanted.
Need help choosing the right kit? Reach us anytime at support@guitarkitworld.com.

View full detailsFrequently 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.
Recommended reading: Luthier Tools for DIY Guitar Kits.
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.
To view the latest DIY guitars from our community follow us on Instagram and visit our Customer Reviews page.
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.
Watch the community section of our YouTube channel to learn how kit guitars sound.
