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.

Build a fine quality guitar you can be proud of!
"People who saw the finished instrument were astonished that it came from a kit... Anyone wanting to begin a guitarmaking career this way won't be disappointed. All the components are high grade and meant to last a lifetime."
 — John Calkin, American Lutherie

A hands-on course in guitar making.
We include full-size plans drawn by Don MacRostie, who designed our kits based on prized vintage Martins. The kits are adapted for the small shop so you won't need factory tools. We do the precision machine work, so you can hand build a great guitar.
We include illustrated assembly instructions and a FREE DVD, Building an Acoustic Guitar Kit! This DVD demonstrates the process in a way that would take a book to fully describe — and you can see what you'll be doing before you do it yourself. No other instrument kits give you this level of instructional detail!
These kits and instructional material are a solid introduction to guitarmaking.
These are great sounding guitars!
You get a bookmatched AAA back and side set, available in rosewood or mahogany. The AAA solid spruce top has been thickness-sanded and profiled. We've slotted the ebony fingerboards, and included pearl inlays and a genuine bone nut and saddle.
|
 |
Choose a bolt-on neck or a traditional dovetail – both are machined for and accurate fit, saving you hours of complicated work. Only the final trimming and sanding are required.
|
|
Included in the kit is a Hot Rod truss rod, to make the neck two-way adjustable.
|
Save time, save tools.
You don't need to tool up for critical machine work like side bending, shaping the neck and cutting the heel joint. You'll hand build and finish an heirloom quality instrument. |
• Solid AAA tonewoods: Spruce, rosewood and mahogany
• Precision-machined neck joint
• Precut heavy cardboard molds for trouble-free body assembly
• Detailed instructions, DVD and builder's plans included FREE!
• Hundreds of our kits have been built by first-time builders and
experienced luthiers

You add the tuners.
From years of supplying kits to builders we know that you'll want to choose the finishing touches, so tuners and strings are not included. To personalize your guitar, see our selection for the steel-string tuning machines for slotted pegheads. Pegholes will need to reamed slightly to fit the Schaller tuners.
Customize your kit to be a left-handed instrument.
Though our guitar kits are intended for right-handed players, the soundboard bracing patterns can be reversed to build a left-handed instrument. You can make a left-handed bridge from scratch using one of our bridge blanks.

I live in Norway and received my Triple-O guitar kit and tools, beautifully packed, only two days after I placed my order. As a time-served boatbuilder and cabinetmaker to trade I'm pretty picky, but I have to say I'm delighted with the quality of the timber in your kit. This is my first foray into luthiery and I can't wait to be playing the end result. |

Last night was a special night for me. After a long process of learning how to build an acoustic guitar, I finally installed my first set of strings on my beautiful Triple-O guitar. What an exhilarating moment. Oh! The emotion to finally hear that sweet well balanced sound. It's fantastic. |

I have just complete my 000 Stew-Mac kit guitar and I just want to let you know that I am delighted with the end result, beyond my expectations and every bit as good as my Martin OM-35. Thanks for your product and excellent service. |

I finished one of your Triple-O guitars a week ago, took it with me to a few friend guitarists' places, all were pleased with the look and feel of the guitar... I'd say that you guys use some wicked tonewoods in these kits. |
