Martin -> Kits for making guitars (Nov. 16 2006 20:23:52)

Having never done any guitar making, I was wondering about a kit. However the only one I can find on t'internet is from LMI and they won't export outside US. Are there others available, and does anyone have any experience of making them?

Their kits do export outside U.S. You just need to use their Kit Wizard and replace the Mahogany End block with Spruce... for some reasons, they can't export Mahogany.

I'm currently making my first guitar from one of their kit. Make sure you have proper documentation and a lot of tools. The kit itself cost me about 450$US, but I probably spent as much in tools and materials.

You can get kits from Madinter in Madrid (www.madinter.com) They have a classical kit that you should be able to convert into a flamenca Negra. I have no idea how the quality of their kit is, but I buy a lot of wood there.
