Mini S-Style Electric Guitar Kit

Have a little fun and make a little noise!
Build a REAL guitar this weekend. This is not a toy or wall hanger, this mini-guitar is a real instrument that you’ll have a lot of fun building and playing for years to come.

Want to make something totally unique that’s a blast to play? You can’t go wrong with the Mini S-Style Kit. It’s just like its big brother but with a shorter scale and tuned an octave above conventional tuning. You can play all the same chords and scales you know with a completely new tone.

Looking for a super-easy first build?
If you’ve been on the fence about trying your first guitar build, this kit is just what you need. Everything comes pre-routed—the bridge location is already pre-drilled. Each neck is fit to each pocket for a super tight neck joint.

And, it’s a one day build. Open the box in the morning and you’ll be playing by afternoon. If you have a coffee table, you’ve got enough space to build this simple kit.

Don’t let the size fool you
This guitar sounds and plays just like a full scale guitar. Everything from the nut width (1-5/8″) to the electronics and hardware are the same size as traditional Strat-style guitars (other than the neck plate). While everything is perfect right out of the box, it’s easy to make this guitar your own. From vintage vibe to crazy modern, you can customize this guitar exactly how you want.

Mini S-Style Electric Guitar Kit includes:

• Mahogany body, ready for final sanding and finishing
• Body is pre-routed and drilled for the proper placement of the neck, pickups, control cavity and bridge
• Pre-fretted mahogany neck with blank peghead and pre-installed truss rod
• 16.3″ (414mm) scale length with 1-5/8″ nut width
• Pre-installed fingerboard inlays
• Slotted nut
• Sealed tuners
• White pickguard (3-ply laminated w/b/w)
• Pickups, pots, and switch are pre-wired for easy installation
• Output jack
• Classic Strat-style hardtail bridge and chrome hardware
• Setup adjustment wrenches
• Strings
• Detailed instructions written specifically for this kit

Explore new sounds!
This little guitar sounds great in multiple tunings due to the shorter scale. For a totally new but familiar tone, we’ve enjoyed tuning these one octave up in standard, A to A (like a capo at the 5th fret), and all sorts of open tunings. We recommend using extra light strings for best playability. Find what inspires you.
