Complete build your own guitar kits for £65



There's something appealing about The Music King's Build your own guitar kits which sell from £65 for a Strat copy to £89 for a Les Paul. You get all the components and hardware, with shaped but raw bodies and necks. I'm sure the quality isn't great - you're probably buying a cheap Chinese made guitar in pieces - but it would be a fun project. Brandoni sell rather superior kits at around £200, although the kings of self-assembly guitar kits are Warmoth, whose gallery shows just how far you can go wrong with this kind of thing. If you're looking for inspiration, WD Music have a fun but slightly clunky virtual guitar custom shop.


Comments:
I bought a neck from one of these kits off eBay (Strat-style). I can confirm that the quality is definitely quite low, but not abysmal. Mine found use as part of my MIDI guitar controller. Definitely playable. Hopefully, it won't warp in two years :)
 
If you're over in the states, you can pick up a kit from grizzly industrial for about the same price, taking the exchange rate into account.

I don understand why comments are irrelavant of the topic
 
I sent several messages to that company with no reply though....

if you know any further shop like that, shipping to Italy, at those prices, it will be great

Thanks

i have brought a couple of kits off the music king. These are brilliant value for money. I have built a strat and a LP style and have been amazed by the finished guitar on both occasions.

Great value for money, would recomend to anyone!!
