The FH-5V Hollow Mahogany Body Electric Guitar Kit features one P-90 single-coil pickup in the neck position, a trapeze tailpiece with a wooden bridge and a single volume and tone controls. You will need to do your own routing/drilling for the P90 pickup and/or Volume/Tone controls. This is the builder's build - not for the faint-hearted. Measure twice, cut once.

This kit contains everything you need to build a complete, playable guitar, except your choice of finish.

Before you buy

These are raw, unfinished kits from a production factory, not flat-pack furniture. Expect to sand, fill and finish your instrument yourself, and expect the occasional scratch, dent or glue spot to deal with along the way. That is the craft, and it is why the result is worth playing.

Do a mock build before you sand or paint anything. We cannot accept returns on kits that have been part-assembled, painted or stained.

New to building? Start with an ST or TL kit, where much of the wiring is already done at the factory. We would not recommend a hollow body for a first build.

Build support

You are not on your own once the box arrives. Every kit is backed by our complete instruction manual, a quick start guide, wiring diagrams for more than fifty different kits, and step-by-step videos covering finishing, soldering, hardware, assembly and setup.
