- Top bindings. (Fibroid) - See note below.

- Instructional booklet and plan - Please note, Instructions are very basic, we recommend purchasing a book as a supplementary source of information on guitar building techniques.

Upgrading -
For a nicer instrument we suggest upgrading the fibroid top bindings to solid Indian rosewood or ebony bindings top and back with top purflings. These are harder wearing and more in keeping with the quality of the rest of the components in the kit.

For those of you who prefer to shape their own bone nut and saddle, both these items are available on this site.

The tuners supplied are basic and functional but it is worth considering upgrading to a higher quality set. Any of our range of Rubner or Gotoh brand classical guitar tuners will fit.
