{"product_id":"alder-st-style-guitar-kit-quilt-maple","title":"Double-Cutaway Contoured Electric Guitar Kit, Alder Body, Quilted Maple Veneer, Dual Humbuckers","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuild a double-cutaway electric guitar with an alder body, a quilted maple top and two humbucking pickups. The body arrives with every cavity and hole already cut. Its flat top has a forearm contour on the edge and a belly cut on the back, so it sits comfortably against you while you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple neck has a dark skunk stripe down the back, an engineered rosewood fretboard, 22 stainless steel frets and a bone nut. Stainless steel frets stay smooth and wear far more slowly than standard nickel-silver frets. The headstock comes blank, with all six tuner holes already drilled in a single row, so you can keep its plain outline or cut your own shape. The neck attaches with four screws, with no gluing or clamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black pearl pickguard comes with both pickups, one volume knob, two tone knobs and the 5-way switch already mounted. You solder the connections yourself, which is how you learn what each control does. A six-saddle tremolo bridge and chrome sealed tuners complete the hardware. The body and neck come unfinished, ready for whatever color you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-top: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; color: #555;\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDexterity: \u003cstrong\u003eRight-Handed\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: \u003cstrong\u003e6\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: \u003cstrong\u003eFull Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-top: 14px;
