WoodStax Flame Koa OM Guitar Kit, Bolt-on Neck - 070

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 OM kit, this limited edition WOODSTAX kit uses our hand-selected premium tone woods. We combined a flamed and stunning AAA Flamed Koa (Acacia koa) back and side set with our lightest and stiffest AAA Engelmann Spruce (Picea engelmannii) tops so you'll create an absolutely magnificent custom guitar.

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

There's simply no other wood that has the distinct, breathtaking looks of Flamed Koa. Growing only in the islands of Hawaii, the combination of dynamic figure and hues of golden amber, rich browns, blacks, and even purple makes every set a unique showpiece. When combined with the pale cream color and rigid straight-grain of the Engelmann Spruce top, the guitar you make will look a beautiful as it will sound.

While highly figured woods can sometimes be a challenge to work with—we've taken care to select Koa that is stable, flat, and well behaved. We've precisely bookmatched and joined the back and cut it to shape. Now you can use this gorgeous looking and sounding wood to craft your dream guitar without worry.

But wait, it gets even better...
A guitar of this caliber deserves the best tuners in the world, so we're giving you a FREE set of Waverly Tuning Machines with your kit.
