Unlike most guitars kits, particularly ones in this price range, all of the wood included has been handpicked to avoid complications such as knots and imperfections. This ensures each guitar body has been constructed from planks of wood with similar grain and colour, so your finish, should you choose to add one will look consistent and give you confidence that your instrument should last a lifetime.
The Guitarworks Offset DIY Electric Guitar Kit includes a basswood body. Basswood offers great volume and weight, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead playing styles in any genre.
Thanks to its maple neck, the Offset is built to last, offering a smooth playing experience so you can progress up and down the fretboard with ease. This can easily be attached to the body via its bolt-on design. The neck also comes with an unfinished headstock, so you can mark up and cut it to any design you would like, be it something completely original, or a tribute to an iconic instrument.
The DIY kit features two humbuckers and a single coil pickup. Ideal for Rock and Alternative musical styles, humbucker pickups are renowned for their precise midrange focus and ability to handle high levels of gain and distortion. The inclusion of a single coil pickup grants you the best of both worlds, complimenting the warmth of the humbucker with a bright, defined tone that ensures you'll cut through the densest of arrangements.
