The Guitar Fabrik Reviews 363

There was an urgent need to obtain some DIY guitar components but it was sold out at the store. Eloane and the team made every effort possible to ensure i obtained the items soonest possible. In addition, very professional follow-up to any queries. Highly recommended!

The only thing that would make it better would be for Guitar Fabrik to pre drill all of the mounting holes.

Exactement ce que je voulais! J'ai apprécié la preview qui m'a permis de modifier une erreur que j'avais faite

DECAL FATTA MOLTO BENE
FACILE APPLICAZIONE , SE SI SEGUONO DETTAGLIATAMENTE LE ISTRUZIONI
MOLTO SODDISFATTO

Ordered on March 2 , still not received anything.
Contacted info at Guitar Fabric who said they would let me know five days ago and sadly no reply ,no contact, and the tracking is useless.
Updated as refund issued immediately due to transport issues

I bought a Jackson Dinky style kit with quilted maple top. Everything about the experience has been positive. I was in contact with the company before my order, and I got answers to my questions within hours. The kit came extremely well wrapped and packaged, without any damage, from France to Hawaii in just 5 days. The neck is far beyond my expectations for a kit guitar, with an extremely fine level of finishing detail and no fret sprout or jagged edges. The fingerboard binding is a nice, upgraded detail that I did not expect. The body's quality is also superior. The maple veneer is simply gorgeous. The mahogany back and sides are equally impressive. Someone put some serious time and attention into the woodworking! The kit is completely solderless - even the ground solder to the tremolo claw has been done. The neck holes are even pre-drilled! With a complete set of electronics for a humbucker / single coil / humbucker set-up, and a Floyd Rose bridge, the kit is an exceptional value. You even get a set of strings and a cable. While the components may be entry level (as with most kits), the quality of the body and neck as well as the ease of the assembly more than justify the kit's cost. You can always upgrade components later if you want to get a top of the line floating trem or some screaming Seymour Duncans. I would definitely recommend this kit.

Fast delivery.
Friendly contact.
Good quality.

The variety of goods was great and value for money also incedible.

Great company, great product, Great delivery.

tres bon produit correspond a mon attente pose aisée.

I was bought this kit by my family as I've always wanted to build my own guitar.
I am not a luthier, but I am more than capable to build a guitar kit. I am an engineer who also has qualifications in electronic repair and mechanics. I carve wood and enjoy carpentry as hobbies.
The kit arrived in Feb 2025. My plan was to take my time with it. It's Jan 2026 and it's almost complete.

The kit is ok. I have found there to be challenges along the way.
Please be aware, these are not a bolt together and play kit.
The neck screw holes and plate do not line up, the plate if used sits on an angle and looks awful and the self tapping screws are weak. I opted for inserts and countersunk hex bolts with countersunk washers to secure the neck.
The electronics are not very good quality I'm afraid, I replaced all of it with new pots, pickups, output jack, switch and wiring. My kit came with all black hardware, however the switch was silver and stood out.
The holes for the pots and switch require additional material to be removed to allow enough thread to fit the nuts on.
The neck needs alot of work. The frets all had to be hammered in as they were stood proud and a full fret level, recrown and polish has been done. The fingerboard has required sanding and oiling. The nut has not had any time spent on it at the factory. It originally stood significantly high on the bass side E which was standing 2.5-3mm above the first fret and so low on the treble there was no gap at all at the first fret for the high E string, it was sat on the first fret even after a fret level. The nut has had to be replaced with a new piece of bone.
The tuners supplied are ok, although I have replaced them anyway with locking tuners.

My overall thoughts are, this isn't as easy as putting the bits together and then play it. It needs alot of adjust and figuring problems out as you build. I enjoyed the experience, but there have been times when the bad workmanship at the factory, especially for something being CNC lathed has annoyed the heck out of me.
Would I buy another? Not from The Guitar Fabrik. I would look elsewhere.

No customer support! Didn't reply to my emails. Some of the parts are not good quality and didn't match the description!

Guitar Fabrik have been very good throughout the purchase, and build of a very accomplished build, there was a missing dye, which they immediately dealt with, in fact they sent me two dyes, great company ,I’m about to purchase a second kit

I made a mistake with the order but The Guitar Fabrik were excellent in helping me resolve it. Quick delivery and communication and no obstacles. Beautiful quality guitar kit and would order again from them definitely. Only slight improvement would be an updated website experience but that's splitting hairs.

Kit arrived super quick. If you have some basic knowledge about guitar setup, you can build a good guitar. Initially, my email queries didn't seem to get through but once I used WhatsApp, their service was great.

Excellent produit, simple et efficace de conception.

À très bien fait l’affaire pour la planimetrie de ma statocaster !

Seul bémol : quand on reçoit les jeux de papier de verre, on ne sait pas lequel est quel grain, comme les finnes bandes sont découpées dans des plus grosses feuilles, les gramage n’est pas forcément indiqué derrière. Après à l’ancienne on passe son doigt pour « sentir » le plus râpeux.

Alles bestens. Super schneller Versand.

Le bois est de bonne qualité, le montage relativement simple. J'ai dû rabaisser le sillet de tête de 1 mm, et changer les 3 visses du vibrato. Les potards sont correctes, les micros surprenants, les mécaniques, non ... Je l'ai monté en 9/46, réglée à ma convenance, c'est une super pelle!! Je change les mécaniques et le vibrato qui sont franchement pas terribles. Et les cordes bien-sûr, qui ne servent qu'à aligner le manche...
