Artist 58TDIY Semi-Hollow Do It Yourself Electric Guitar Kit

We've upgraded our DIY kits to use higher-quality materials alongside a thorough QC inspection​​​​​​. Each of these kits now comes with numbered accessories, making set-up and installation a breeze!

We've also included a host of spare screws so that you're never left short, and relocated the earth hole to a more convenient spot for minimum fiddling! Higher quality woods and improved electronics are now standard across all our DIY kits, which results in a better-looking and better-sounding instrument than any similar kits on the market! 

Each of these kits is now pre-assembled at the factory to ensure the inclusion of all components, as well as checking the fit and finish of each part. Once this check has been carried out, they are disassembled, re-packaged and dispatched to us!

The Artist 58TDIY kit is a simple, no-solder guitar kit that's perfect for new builders and experienced players alike! With an unfinished body, you can create any finish you've ever dreamed of, bringing the Custom Shop into your garage!

Very light Guitar without all the metal bits attached, and the next thing that strike me is the excellent grain of the back and belly/top of this guitar. the grain is every bit as nice as in the photos on the Artist Guitars web site. The maple neck is beautiful, Perfectly sanded just how you would expect from an artist guitars product and it also has lovely grain if you care for that sort of thing. Expertly packed for shipping so that the Pickups and Machine heads won't go flying around and smashing things up . The quick connect wiring harness is a very nice addition. Some people might immediately replace the small volume and tone pots with bigger one's but i wont, bigger pots will be much harder to fit through the f holes than the smaller ones, I own the Artist Walnut 58 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar W/Humbuckers and it has similar wiring and it has not let me down. it' also one of my most Perved on Guitars, in fact all Artist Guitars are Extremely Pervable which is probably why i spend so much time on the Artist Guitars web site. Only thing i don't like is the already glued in neck. as a guitar maker myself i would prefer to be the one to glue it in but i understand this has been done to help someone on their first build. Maybe Artist Guitars could offer both Glued and Un Glued versions in the future. A small instruction sheet showing orientation of the Humbuckers and the easiest way to install the output jack and orientation of volume and tone pots would be a valuable tool for those new to guitar making. Mines going to be Red, Red like the fires of HELL.
