What you see is what you get
We've photographed each set individually—what you see pictured in the first image is the actual wood you'll receive. Zoom in and check out each set's unique figure, grain, and every detail of your kit's back, sides, and top and get ready to build your dream guitar.
This is no ordinary 000-size guitar kit! This limited edition kit showcases our hand-selected premium tonewoods, only from WOODSTAX. We’ve paired Claro Walnut (Juglans hindsii) back and sides together with a torrefied Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) top for an unstoppable combination of beauty, tone, and playability. Your guitar may be small in size but its tone and volume will fill any room.
The dynamic grain of Claro Walnut matches its equally compelling tone. With the clarity of mahogany and the full overtones of rosewood, Claro Walnut can capture any sound you can imagine. When paired with the responsive "broken-in" tone of torrefied Sitka Spruce, your guitar will play like an old friend and treasured heirloom from the first strum.
You don't need a shop full of tools
Perfect for beginners or pros alike! If you don't have all the specialized tools you need to thickness sand tops or bend sides, or you want a head start that will save you hours of build time, this is the kit for you. All of the critical work is done so you can start and finish this build with ease. When you open the box, you're ready to build.
These are just a few of the complicated steps that are done for you:
- Carving the neck
- Joining, thickness-sanding, and profiling the soundboard and back
- Cutting the soundhole and routing the rosette channel
- Accurately bending the sides
But wait, it gets even better...
