About DIY Guitar Kits
A DIY guitar kit gives you the satisfaction of building and personalising your own instrument without needing luthier skills or a workshop full of tools. Every SWAMP guitar and bass kit includes all the parts required for a complete instrument: a pre-drilled body, neck, full hardware and all electronic components. The only thing left to add is the finish, which is yours to design.
Each kit is manufactured from carefully selected seasoned timbers, hand picked and precision machined by CNC and skilled manual craftsmen, with build standards that rival many off-the-shelf instruments. Once your build is complete, set it up properly: browse guitar amps to hear it at its best, keep it in tune with guitar tuners, protect it in a guitar case, and show off the result on a guitar wall hanger.

DIY Guitar Kit FAQs
What is included in a DIY guitar kit?
Everything needed to build a complete instrument: a pre-drilled body, neck, all hardware and the full set of electronic components. The only thing not included is the finish, so you can paint, stain or oil the guitar however you like.
What tools do I need to build a guitar kit?
Only basic tools. Bodies arrive pre-drilled and necks pre-shaped, so no routing, fretwork or specialist luthier equipment is required: just patience, a clear bench and your vision for the finish.
Are DIY guitar kits good for beginners?
Yes. All the precision machining is done for you, so assembly and finishing are achievable on a first build, and you finish with a playable instrument and a much better understanding of how your guitar works.
