DIY Guitar Kit - ES Bigsby, Mahogany with chrome hardware

Build a semi-hollow ES Bigsby guitar kit in mahogany with chrome hardware and solderless electronics. Customize the finish, assemble, and fine-tune a kit suited to skilled builders for blues, rock, and jazz tones.

Body wood: Mahogany  |  Neck wood: Mahogany  |  Fretboard: Ebony  |  Nut material: Bone  |  Electronics: Solderless  |  Hardware finish: Chrome

  • Semi-hollow design for blues, rock, and jazz
  • Skilled-builder kit with finish and setup customization
  • Includes solderless electronics for easier assembly
  • Mahogany body and neck with ebony fretboard and bone nut
  • Access to user guides and community support

This ES335 kit Bigsby is a classic semi-hollow Bigsby build for expert luthiers who want a hands-on assembly project. The mahogany ES Bigsby kit pairs a double-bound semi-hollow body with a Bigsby-style vibrato for that signature shimmer and dive.

Build Considerations

  • Recommended for expert builders due to the set-in neck with inclination requiring precise alignment before gluing.
  • Painting is approachable on the smooth mahogany; take care around the binding and neck sealing.
  • Initial neck setup is key to achieving great string action; sound adjustment is manageable after setup.

Key Features

  • Mahogany semi-hollow body with double white binding.
  • Mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, 22 frets, white dot inlays.
  • Chrome hardware with Bigsby-style vibrato, two humbuckers, and 3-way toggle switch.
  • Solderless wiring.
