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.
You can use stain, paint, or oil-based finishes. Learn more about finishing techniques here.
