Are Guitar Build Kits Any Good?

Guitar build kits can be a great way to learn about guitar construction, and end up with a guitar you might have only dreamed about. However, it is important to choose a kit from a reputable source and to be prepared to put in the time and effort to build the guitar properly.

Here are some of the advantages of guitar build kits:

  • There are a huge variety of kits available, modeled after popular guitars.
  • They can be a lot cheaper than buying a finished guitar, especially for high-end models.
  • They can be a fun and rewarding project to work on.
  • They can help you learn about guitar construction.

Here are some of the disadvantages of guitar build kits:

  • The quality depends on you. Quick spray paint in the garage? That's fine. 10 coats of clear finish applied over months? That's beautiful.
  • They can be time-consuming to build.
  • They can be difficult to build if you don't have any experience with guitar construction.
  • Depending on upgrades and materials, they may end up with a higher cost than buying something off the wall.

Overall, guitar build kits can be a great option for people who are looking for a fun and rewarding project, who want to learn about guitar construction, and who are willing to put in the time and effort to build a quality guitar. Check out all the DIY guitar kit models we offer today.
