After reading Andrew's topic about http://www.domain.com
I have looked around to find some guitar building kits.
I have found a site named Torres guitar. I would really like to craft my own guitar. Here is the website http://www.torresengineering.com/famguitkit.html
I really like the Les Paul Zakk Wylde type and the PRS with the Lawrence pickups.
What do you think about this do you think it is worth it???? It doesn't look to expensive.

Saga's kits are OK, for it's price, I played some strats for many years ago, but if You want to go for top-notch stuff, check out Warmoth, www.warmoth.com
Funny, I was browsing their site also earlier today looking at their amp kits....

I agree with Staffay. Those Saga kits are ok, but you would be a lot better off spending a little more at Warmoth.

Warmoth, are way more expensive tho but you can customize them easier. The price on the saga guitars were there best arguments.

You can check http://www.allparts.com/ as well. Can't say anything about the quality. I only know the address.

These looks much like the Saga kits. What I've heard people say it sound better than they expected. Question is what they expected from buying a low cost kit.
Sounds like fun at least

At that price you don't have to much to lose. And if you lose, I think that by applying a nice paint job it is going to make a great wall decoration

Price is pretty cool and you will have fun assembling it! I guess its worth for that + if it sounds good even better

I really like those Carvin kits. From what I have read online, at least you are left with a guitar that is fairly nice quality. The Saga kits seem to be fairly poor quality guitars.

Carvin kits looks cool also, I didn't know about them.. The thing i like with the Saga kit on Torres guitar, was all the pick ups upgrade that were available. I'll continue to look at those kits, I don't want to pay to much for a guitar kit, I am not a good builder and don't have plenty of money. It is more for the kick of making my own guitar with my own paint job on it. If it sounds good then its a + but I don't plan on replacing my Strat for a guitar made in a kit.

Allparts is good stuff, not as good as Warmoth, but those I played is definitely better than Saga's kits....
