  • Any recommended companies for guitar kits?

    Looks like Carvin/Kiesel quit doing the Bolt plus. I wanna make a super Strat but don't have Super Strat money.

    I've been out of the scene for a bit.

        Warmoth isn't cheap, but you get what you want out of good material. Their stuff rocks. If you look at the Screamin' Deals on their webpage, you can spend a lot less.

          They're not "kits" per se, but you can get what you need to build a guitar. I can't speak for the necks, but I assembled a guitar from one of their bodies and a Warmoth neck, and it's great

            Warmoth is so overpriced. May be good stuff but you can get same quality for half the price.

                  Harley Benton has reasonably affordable kits. Come partially assembled. Some models may require replacement parts ...or glue, ...sold separately.

                    Thanks man. The fit and finish and price point is perfect.

                      If you can't afford a superstrat you would want, you also will not be able to afford to build one you want from a kit. Prices on most kits have gone up so much that it is cheaper to buy the entire finished guitar from a manufacturer. I see kits and guitar builds as useful for creating a more personalized/customized guitar, but they will not help you save money.

                          If you are a StewMax member (costs $40 per year) shipping is free on all orders. There are other perks as well.
