Harley Benton Launches DIY Kits For You To Build Your Own Electric Guitar

Harley Benton has recently unveiled an exciting range of do-it-yourself guitar kits, offering musicians the hands-on opportunity to carve and assemble their own instruments.

The new lineup consists of four distinct models, including a unique square guitar. Alongside it are a thin-line T-style model and left-handed S- and T-style models, catering to guitarists of various styles and preferences.

Every DIY kit has all the essential components needed to build the entire instrument. Each kit is thoughtfully curated from strings to pickups, body, and more to provide a seamless building experience.

All of the gadgets are equipped with a standard Rengas body with variations in wood color, accompanied by maple necks. Musicians can choose to paint the body or leave it in its natural state. 

In fact, the brand ensures that the body and necks are finished with a wood sealer, allowing for easy application of lacquer if desired. Each set comes with routing for the pickup, tuners, bridge, and electronics pre-prepared.

For instance, those building the square model will receive 22 frets, one volume and one tone control, a three-way switch, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and two humbuckers. These features provide versatility and the potential to create one’s personal style.

Of course, while the kits provide a solid foundation, it’s the individual touch and craftsmanship that will make each guitar truly one-of-a-kind. This creative journey aims to help players develop a deeper connection with their instrument. Head here for more information.
