Acoustic Guitar Kit: Your Path to Building the Perfect Guitar

If you are looking to enjoy the satisfying experience of building your own acoustic guitar, StewMac’s acoustic guitar kits offer the best quality and craftsmanship to help you start your DIY guitar journey. Each guitar kit is designed with care, including choice tonewoods like AAA Spruce, Indian Rosewood, and carved Mahogany necks and carefully-selected high quality parts to ensure a rich, authentic sound. The most demanding steps are done for you, so you can skip the expensive equipment, finish the build sooner, and keep overall costs down. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced luthier, our kits provide everything you need to build an instrument that looks and plays beautifully.

Build, Learn, and Play

Our acoustic guitar build kits include hand-selected materials and precise components that make your building experience smooth and rewarding. You’ll find detailed instructions included to help you at every step—from shaping the body, to finishing, to the final set up for a perfect playing instrument. The kits are designed to be constructed with common tooling, but StewMac has a wide array of tooling to make the jobs easier and more precise, such as our wide selection of professional fretting tools. This is the perfect way to learn guitar building hands-on and gain the skills to craft your own unique instrument.

Shop Acoustic Guitar Kits Built for Quality and Sound

At StewMac, we understand that quality materials can make all the difference. Our acoustic guitar kits are built to deliver outstanding tone and playability, combining solid craftsmanship with a timeless style. Each kit is designed to meet your needs and inspire your passion for both lutherie and music. Pick the body size that matches your sound:

• Dreadnought – our biggest box with thunderous bass and head‑room for aggressive flat‑picking and bluegrass jams.
• OM (Orchestra Model) – a slightly slimmer waist and a longer 25.4" scale give you balanced projection and crisp note separation that shines for fingerstyle and light strumming.
• 000 / Triple‑O – the most compact of the three, offering a comfortable lap feel and a sweet, focused mid‑range that records beautifully and suits smaller players or couch sessions.

Whether you want to start your first guitar build or take existing luthier skills to the next level, StewMac acoustic guitar kits pair premium components with real support: full‑size blueprints, illustrated instruction books, an in‑depth step‑by‑step DVD, sturdy pre‑cut body molds, and direct access to our on‑staff luthiers via phone callback, chat, or email—everything you need to finish successfully. 

If you want a fun alternative, or a quicker, less complicated build, we also offer a wide array of electric guitar kits.
