Triple-O Guitar Kit

The balanced tone of the traditional 000-size guitar has made it a favorite of fingerstyle players. The Triple-O kit is made in our shop, to the same high standards as our popular Dreadnought guitar kit. It produces a professional quality instrument with traditional construction and details. The Triple-O kit is a rewarding project for anyone with shop tools and an enthusiasm for guitarmaking.

You are about to build a truly great guitar! We designed this acoustic kit with the small shop builder and a modest tool budget in mind, with the exception of a few specialty guitar making tools.

Please read these instructions before building your guitar.

Throughout the assembly of the kit you’ll need a flat workboard of 3/4" plywood approximately 24" long and 20" wide, big enough for your guitar’s body assembly.

Note: Some photos in these instructions use a Dreadnought guitar as a model, though the technique is the same for either Dreadnought or Triple-O guitar. Options include dovetail or bolt-on neck and back and side woods of either mahogany or rosewood.
