RIC-style DIY Guitar Kits

About

The jangle-tone guitar is one of the most distinctive sounds in popular music. That chiming, bell-like clean tone defined entire genres and continues to inspire players who want clarity and character in every note. Our retro semi-hollow guitar kits capture that signature jangle with distinctive body shapes, through-body neck construction, and pickups voiced for bright, articulate cleans. These kits produce a tone that sits in its own space, different from any standard solid body or semi-hollow design. Building a retro jangle-tone kit is an intermediate to advanced project. The unique body construction and specialized hardware require more attention to detail than a standard solid body build. The binding, body contours, and pickup mounting are all specific to this design, so take your time and follow the build guide closely. Each kit ships with a pre-shaped body, neck, all hardware, pickups, and wiring. The distinctive look and unmistakable tone of a jangle guitar make this a standout build project for any guitar enthusiast.
