Before you buy
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.

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.

This was a great kit. The maple neck was nicely made and the frets needed little work. The body is heavy and the guitar has good tone. I replaced the bridge, pickups and scratch plate, but the stock bits look fine too. Usual Pitbull good value!!!
I have built two Teles so far and in my opinion the TLA-1 with it's ash body sounds much more the superior of the two. It's a great kit that is just so easy to put together and get the action dialed in. The wiring comes basically pre-assembled, so just a couple of solder joins and you are ready to play. The maple neck and fret board looks great and plays amazingly (maple fretboards are definitely my favourite). Just one note would be that my kit came with a bigger route in the neck position than that pictured. No problem if you are using the pickguard (as I did) but it's worth mentioning. I would definitely recommend this kit most highly!
superb build and a lot of fun doing so.
Plays fantastic and sounds the business . The standard hardware that came with the kit was very impressive. How they do it for this price I don't know.
