Put together for more intrepid guitarists that want to build their own custom model, guitar build packs include everything you need from the neck and the body to the pickups and hardware - all in one convenient shot.
Build Your Own Guitar
If you're planning to build your very own custom guitar, then you'll need to carefully pick out all of the
guitar parts
you'll need to get the job done. Picking out the right parts can take a little advanced knowledge, so for the uninitiated, it might be easier to go for an all-in-one guitar build pack. With a complete electric or acoustic guitar build pack you'll be able to put together a complete instrument in just one day. Sure, it's not quite as simple as putting together a flat-pack bookshelf, but some of these packs really make things as easy as possible. You can get packs that include painted or unpainted bodies, all pre-drilled and pre-routed and packed up with all the wiring, screws and parts needed for assembly, and once you've soldered and mounted everything in, you can add your favourite pack of
guitar strings
. And, if you get an unfinished body, you can give your new guitar a truly unique, custom paint-job.
Buying a Guitar Build Pack
At Bax Music, we've lined up a range of different guitar build packs all with familiar body shapes and setups. The beauty of these build packs is that you don't just get the unique privilege of building your own instrument, but you gain a heap of in depth knowledge about how guitars work, setting you up with some valuable guitar-maintenance skills. You don't even have to stick with the parts that come in the pack, so if you want to upgrade the bridge or the pickups that came with it, it's easy, since the guitar doesn't come pre-fitted with any hardware. Standard build packs, like the packs put together by
Fazley
, are a great example because they offer a cheaper route to a custom model and free-up the rest of your budget for a good amplifier and some effect pedals.
