Build a great sounding dreadnought-size guitar from AAA-grade tonewoods. Start with the advantage of precision machining from our Ohio shop. Carved mahogany neck Accurately bent sides Bookmatched back, joined and cut to shape AAA spruce top with soundhole and rosette channel Slotted fingerboard, ready for frets Designed with your success in mind With the kit, you get a lot of help to make sure your guitar turns out great. The full-size blueprint is modeled after a prized vintage Martin, and shows exactly how every part fits. A sturdy cardboard body mold holds the guitar sides in the perfect contour as you build. The instruction book is really a short course in guitarmaking, by luthiers Todd Sams and Dan Erlewine; no other kit has anything like it. Todd and Dan made the step-by-step DVD that’s included with the kit, too (a $39.95 value). From start to finish, these guitarmakers guide you to a successful build. You don’t need a big shop We’ve done the critical machining, so the neck joint and other parts fit well right from the start. A slotted bone nut and shaped bone saddle are included, along with inlays, bindings and our two-way Hot Rod truss rod. (We know that tuning machines are something you’ll prefer to choose for yourself.) Included in our kits: Solid AAA tonewoods Precisely machined neck joint at the 14-fret Bridge pins, end pin, frets, pickguard, bindings, rosette and trim Hot Rod two-way adjustable truss rod Precut heavy cardboard molds for trouble-free body assembly Full-size blueprint and bracing template Illustrated 36-page spiral-bound instruction book Step-by-step DVD: Building an Acoustic Guitar Kit
