WoodStax Flame Walnut OM Guitar Kit, Bolt-on Neck - 181

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 our most stunning AAA Flamed Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) back and side sets with our lightest and stiffest AAAA Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) tops for you to 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

The combination of Flamed Black Walnut and Western Red Cedar are a fingerstyle player's dream. The response from the Cedar plus the clarity of the Flamed Walnut enhances every note, and allows for an incredibly articulate tone. Fingerpicked lines are fast and dry, not full of unwanted overtones. The reddish brown of the Cedar and striking figure of the Walnut make this guitar visually striking. Paired with the elegant Ebony bridge and fingerboard, the aesthetics of the woods will only be enhanced under the finish you choose.

While flamed woods can sometimes be a challenge to work with—we've taken care to select Walnut 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.
