What workshop partners say about us
I’m a luthier and guitar tech in Portugal and I was looking for a good kit to create a dedicated course. After a lot of search and try out of innumerous guitar kits that industry offers, I decided to try Guitar Kit World and there’s no best option in the market considering price-quality relation. The dimensions are accurate, the joints are perfect and the wood is of high quality, meeting the industry standards of well know finished guitars. You can’t go wrong with this.
João OliveiraClinica da Guitarra · PortugalI’ve ordered over 12 kits from Guitar Kit World. I get personalized service from Guitar Kit World. They also always make sure my orders are just right. I actually use their kits to teach classes and the quality has continuously improved over the last year.
