WoodStax Monkeypod OM Guitar Kit, Bolt-On Neck - 046

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 then get started building your dream guitar.

This is no ordinary kit, this limited edition WOODSTAX OM kit uses our hand-selected premium tone woods. We combined a dynamic and striking AAAA Monkeypod (Albizia saman) back and side set with our lightest and stiffest AAAA Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) tops so you'll create an absolutely stunning 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 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

The Koa-like grain and contrasting dark and light coloring makes Monkeypod one of our favorite woods. The fast attack pairs well with the responsiveness of the Cedar. This wood combination makes for a balanced guitar across the tonal spectrum, perfect for fingerstyle playing. The reddish brown of the Cedar and the golden hues of the Monkeypod create a superb looking and sounding instrument.

But wait, it gets even better...
A guitar of this caliber deserves high quality hardware, so we're giving you a FREE set of Golden Age Tuning Machines with your kit. These tuners feature vintage oval knobs with relic nickel plating for a well-loved look.
