harley benton rolls out new DIY kits for its wooden electric and bass guitars

Players can sculpt their own electric guitar body

 

Harley Benton unveils five new wooden electric and bass guitar DIY kits, letting players build and fine-tune the guitars themselves in the comfort of their own homes. Among the five new releases, the Harley Benton Electric Guitar Kit Square may be surprising given that the instrument brand invites the player to carve and shape the block of wood themselves to their liking.

 

The square-shaped body is left entirely up to the player to sculpt it in whatever way they want it to be. A C-shaped maple neck and an amaranth fretboard come with the wooden electric guitar DIY kit alongside two humbucker pickups to deliver a rich and versatile tone. In this style, Harley Benton allows the player to decide if they want a natural finish for their electric guitar or unleash their inner craftsman.

Harley Benton unveils wooden electric and bass guitar DIY kits

 

The other Harley Benton wooden electric and bass guitar DIY kits swing between light and maple wood. Continuing with the pine-nut-hued wood, the Harley Benton Electric Guitar Kit TL T-Style gets a semi-hollow T-style guitar body. The kit includes two single-coil pickups for the twang that T-style guitars are known for along with a Rengas body, a maple neck, and an amaranth fretboard. The players can still choose to leave the wooden electric guitar in its natural or wood-revealing finish, or still paint it themselves.

 

Going one shade darker, bassists who enjoy some DIY projects can get their hands to work on the Harley Benton Bass Guitar Kit MB-Style. Here, the maple neck has a Double Action Truss Rod for durability and precision and an amaranth fretboard with 21 frets. The musical instrument gives the bassists the platform to tune up its sound the way they like with the electronic setup getting 2-volume and 1-tone controls. Sleek finishing touches like chrome hardware and diecast tuners add that extra touch of sophistication to the whole design too.

Ceramic pickups and headstock that can be shaped

 

Lefties get a warm welcome since Harley Benton’s wooden electric and bass guitar DIY kits introduce the TE-LH kit which is for left-hand players. Its body is made of solid wood glazed with a base coat of wood filler (the tone wood used can vary), and the maple neck has a fretboard fitted with 22 frets. It is up to the player if they want to shape the headstock to their liking too. Two ceramic single-coil pickups are in line together with the electric guitar’s chrome-colored bridge and die-cast tuners.

 

To wrap up the walnut-colored wooden electric guitar, the ST-LH DIY kit has a classic single-cut design and is made of solid wood that has been given a base coat of wood filler. Still 22 frets for its fretboard in the maple neck, and the players can still shape the headstock to how they want it. In this kit, however, three instead of two ceramic single-coil pickups produce all the lush sounds. The kit also comes with the chrome-colored, two-point synchronized tremolo and die-cast tuners. As of publishing the story, the Harley Benton wooden electric and bass guitar DIY kits are in stock on the website.
