Solid body six string electric guitar kit with beautiful alder body, maple neck, and upgraded locking tuners, bridge and pickups. This is a fantastic quality, easy to build, dual single-coil electric guitar kit. These kits go together easily, all the parts work together well, and the instrument can be assembled without a lot of experience with woodworking or instrument building. Every hole is drilled for each component, including neck, bridge, pickguard and strap button mounting holes. No soldering is required; all electronics connect together with easy to attach connectors. We have done most of the hard work for you! The body needs finish sanding only but should require no filling.
