Build a semi-hollow electric guitar with an offset double-cutaway body, a mahogany body and neck, and a quilted maple top. Two f-holes open up the body, and a full-length center block runs underneath, so it has the airy voice of a hollow guitar while resisting feedback at higher volume. Multi-ply ivory binding is already fitted around the body and the headstock.

The mahogany neck glues into the body rather than screwing on. Lining it up and gluing it is the step that takes the most care, which makes this a kit for builders with some experience. The neck carries a rosewood fretboard with 24 stainless steel frets, pearl white Flock inlays and a bone nut. Stainless steel frets stay smooth and wear far more slowly than standard nickel-silver frets.

Two humbucking pickups run through two volume knobs, two tone knobs and a 3-way toggle switch, with the output jack on the side of the body. You solder the connections yourself, following our wiring diagram for this exact layout. A Tune-o-matic bridge with a stop bar tailpiece and chrome sealed tuners complete the hardware. The body and neck come unfinished, ready for whatever color you choose.

Soldering 101

Do I need to solder electronics? Yes.

You wire the pickups, the controls and the output jack yourself. Every connection is a wire onto a lug, all of them inside one cavity, and you can redo any of them. Soldering is a skill you pick up in an afternoon, not a trade you need to have already.

Find the diagram for your kit

We publish a diagram for every pickup and control layout we sell. Match yours by pickup type and by how many volume and tone knobs your kit has. If you cannot tell which is yours, post your SKU on the index and we will point you to the right one.

Find your wiring diagram. You can also browse every diagram thread, or download them from our wiring diagram library.

What you need

A soldering iron, rosin-core solder and wire cutters. None of it is specialist equipment and none of it is included in the kit.

Never soldered before?

Start with our guide to guitar electronics. It covers what each component does and how to make a joint that holds. If a joint fails you can heat it and redo it. Nothing in the electronics is single use.

If your kit does not match the diagram

It happens. Kits vary slightly between production runs in wire colours and occasionally in components, which can make a general diagram confusing. You are not misreading it.

Send us your order number with a close-up of the wiring harness and a wider shot of the whole control cavity, and our wiring technician will send you the correct diagram for your kit or draw one for it.

Frequently 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.

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?

Build time depends on the kit and on you, so every kit page shows a difficulty rating to help you pick one that fits your experience. The biggest variable is the finish: an oil or stain is ready in days, while lacquer or polyurethane can take from one week to three months to fully cure.

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.

Safety note: rags used with an oil finish give off heat as they cure and can catch fire if left in a pile. Lay them flat to dry outdoors, or soak them in water, before you throw them away.

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.
