Artist ASDIY Do-It-Yourself Electric Guitar Kit
The Artist ASDIY Kit gives you the hands-on experience of building and personalising your very own electric guitar from the ground up. Featuring an unfinished solid poplar body and an unsealed maple neck with an eco-rosewood fretboard, this kit provides a clean slate to apply your choice of stain, paint, or custom lacquer finish.
Equipped with upgraded tonewoods, improved electronics, and three single-coil pickups for classic chime and versatility, the ASDIY kit delivers an engaging project for players, woodworkers, and gear enthusiasts looking to step into instrument assembly.
Upgraded Materials, Factory Test-Fitted & Simple Assembly
Newly upgraded across all components to ensure higher quality, simplified setup, and superior sound:
- Factory Pre-Assembled & Quality Checked: Every kit is pre-assembled at the factory to verify complete component inclusion and check the exact fit and finish of each part before being disassembled, re-packaged, and dispatched.
- Numbered Accessories & Spare Screws: Accessories are clearly numbered to make identification and installation smooth, complete with a generous supply of extra screws so you're never left short during assembly.
- Higher-Quality Woods & Improved Electronics: Features upgraded tonewoods and upgraded electronics to deliver a better-looking, richer-sounding instrument outclassing standard DIY kits on the market.
- Convenient Earth Hole Relocation: The earth grounding hole has been moved to a far more accessible location for minimum fiddling when installing components.
- Versatile Single-Coil Pickups: Includes three single-coil ceramic pickups pre-mounted to a pearloid scratchplate, controlled via a 5-way switch, master Volume, and two Tone controls.
- Classic Tremolo Hardware: Comes equipped with a chrome-plated classic tremolo bridge, die-cast tuning machine heads, output jack, and 10-46 electric guitar strings.
(Note: Simple soldering is required to attach the earth wire to the tremolo claw.)
Important Note on DIY Guitar Assembly & Expectations
Building a DIY kit is an entry-level luthier project intended for learning how a guitar is put together. It is not an out-of-the-box alternative to a factory-built, pre-configured instrument.
- Assembly & Alignment Takes Work: Even with pre-fitted components, getting parts aligned correctly involves patience, trial and error, and hands-on adjustments during the build.
- Full Setup Required After Assembly: Once fully assembled, the instrument will require a complete setup to play properly. You will need to adjust the truss rod for correct neck relief, set the bridge saddle action height, adjust pickup heights, and set intonation.
Trial and error is an expected part of the DIY process. If you want a guitar that is ready to play straight out of the box, we strongly recommend purchasing one of our fully finished, factory-assembled models instead.
