From the manufacturer
Make-your-own Guitar Kit. Made by Saga!
A 1950's vintage single-cutaway solid body electric guitar was chosen for this quality kit. The all-solid body is fine basswood, pre-shaped and routed and the solid maple neck has an oversized peghead to allow you to design your own, signature shape. The pre-fretted rosewood fingerboard is already installed and all electronics are pre-wired for you. A powerful, single P-90-Style single-coil pickup gives you that authentic tone for Rock, Blues and many other styles. The easy, well-illustrated instructions make this an easy and rewarding project–resulting in a guitar you can play in any professional situation.
- Kit includes all parts and instructions to build a complete, playable guitar
- All hardware is heavily nickel-plated
- Electronics are complete and ready for installation--no soldering required
- All holes are pre-drilled
- Complete with strings and electric cord
- Available in right-handed versions only
Building your very own electric guitar was never easier!

Building kits is my hobby.
This is not a beginners kit.It will take some effort and money to make a reliable musical instrument.I built the kit in 4 hours.The supplied finish on the maple neck is excellent. I am going to condition the rosewood fretboard with peanut butter for 24 hours. I am going to work on the tuners to try and make them feel more consistent.The supplied seal on the body is great to not mark bare wood with fingerprints.It will be easy to break through the seal with sand paper before I rub in tung oil finish. I'll have to fill in every small hole with toothpicks and wood glue to get the screws to hold.The P-90 pickup measures 10 kilo ohms and sounds just like it should.The wrap around T-O-M bridge is the only part that should be replaced. It is mounted so close to the p'up, adjusting each saddle is a struggle. The basswood body is too "spongy" to hold a post and anchor style tail piece for very long.Update:The supplied bridge is mounted far short of Gib standard 24.75" scale length. The high E string chimed too much for my playing style. I mounted a Ht bridge at Fen standard 25.50" scale length with a couple of toothpicks under the nut edge of the frame to give all 6 strings a bit more clearance over the p'up. I shimmed the nut edge of the neck pocket with a piece of popsicle stick to get the strings off of the frets. Now the guitar stays in tune longer than just a song or so...Update to update:The strings were too high for playability.I carved 3/32" wood from under the p'up.That let me remove the toothpicks from the bridge. Someday, I'll carve 1/16" wood from the heel of the neck. For now, I can play this guitar to feel if the tuners should be replaced.Okay...It's been about 2 months since the date of order. This is when I stop myself fixin' up a kit. I've only spent $ on the bridge and some good strings. I ended up moving the bridge to 24.75" scale length. This let me best adjust intonation between my ear and a clamp on digital tuner. The supplied machine heads are good enough. I'm going to leave the heel of the neck alone. I've grown accustomed to the supplied body color, my guitar matches my dog!I gave this kit only 4 stars against the manufacturer's description and instructions.I had a lot of fun building a guitar I can play all day!

Skills and patience will get you VERY nice results.
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012
If you're a fan of the old Les Paul Juniors, this kit is a great opportunity to own one for a tiny investment. What's involved in its construction? Well, let's see. The body is already sanded and sealed, ready for paint. The headstock needs to be cut to your desired shape. It's pretty ugly out of the box. Cutting it will expose some wood that'll need to be sealed, too. If you're thinking that you'll put a clear coat on it, forget it. The body is basswood. It's not pretty, and you'd have to sand and strip all of the sanding sealer before clear coating. I used a TV Yellow aerosol can from Guitar ReRanch, and barely had to sand between coats. The neck is a bolt on, and I advise assembling it and doing a preliminary setup before finishing, to make sure that everything is going to work for you. You could fill the holes and glue the neck in, too. This would allow you to smooth out the neck joint with filler and sand it smooth for a cleaner look, but the parts fit tight, and the neck heel is actually thinner than a Gibsons. The tuners could be better, and the strings that came with it immediately went into the garbage. All of the wiring can be clipped together without solder. It comes with heat shrink tubing if you want to go that route. Some have said that the stock pickups and wiring in these kits is unacceptable. With this Junior, I didn't find that to be the case. Juniors are supposed to sound a little (lot) raw and gritty, and this pickup fits that description perfectly, while still having a nice, chiming clean tone when you want it. You could upgrade to better wiring and a true P90 pickup for about 130 bucks. You'll probably spend another hundred bucks on finishing supplies and sandpaper- I spent 60 on paint alone, but I was after a true nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a nitrocellulose clear coat, too. As far as tools go, you really only need some small screwdrivers and pliers, if you're not in a hurry. A bandsaw or jigsaw will help with headstock shaping, but the body on mine needed nothing, not even sanding, before finishing. All in all, it's a very worthwhile project to undertake, and a lot of fun, while teaching you a little about setting a guitar up, too. Take your time, follow the included directions, and you'll end up with a guitar that you can be proud of. If you decide to build this kit, Here's a small tip- The body is sealed before the holes are drilled. This means that the insides of the holes are NOT sealed, and will absorb water when you go to wet-sand your paint job. This will swell the wood enough to cause your finish to split on the narrow strip of wood between the bridge posts and the pickup cavity. Make sure and seal the exposed wood inside the drilled and routed ares before you apply your finish. I learned the hard way. Good luck!

Better than I expected. Easy to assemble, simple to paint, and plays really well. Very surprised at the quality of the P90 pickup as well. Definitely do not regret buying this kit.

Great kit but tuners suck

Everything seemed solid but the tuners: these were so cheap that one had literally fallen apart during shipping. I ordered proper tuners to use, but for the price of the kit the included tuners should have been of better quality. The bridge is actually quite nice, it’s a wraparound but with adjustable saddles like a tuneomatic so you can adjust intonation. In order to get decent action, I had to shim the bolt on neck with 3 layers of a cut business card to get the neck at a proper angle. Not a big deal, but no mention of this in the instructions so an inexperienced builder might run into trouble if they don’t know how to do this.
Speaking of the instructions, these were mostly useless and at times even wrong. Again, this could be a problem for an inexperienced builder. I’ve built many partscasters so I knew what to do but if you have no experience you will need to do some research in order to have a decent build.
The P90 pickup is really good! It sounds full and fantastic. No need to upgrade it in my opinion. I got lucky and the nut on mine needed no work. The frets, too, were properly dressed and didn’t require a fret job to be playable. I ended up with a great sounding and playing guitar.
Overall a great kit. I would have given it 5 stars if the stock tuners were usable.
