Resonator Style Build Your Own Guitar Kit

Resonator kit

Overall, a solid kit. Thorough instructions. I am a woodworker (and musician) and was looking for a diversion as well as wanting to dabble in guitar construction. Plus I always wanted a resonator. I Iucked out on the guitar's action & intonation. I gave the kit 4 rather than 5 stars, mainly because of what I would consider factory carelessness, regarding at least two things. I know I needed to inspect it, but where would I have drawn the line in asking for replacement parts? So I forged ahead and made do. I spent an inordinate amount of time clearing up glue splashes. Second, there were two locations on the body where randomly drilled holes had to be patched, sanded, etc. As a woodworker, I knew what had to be done, though it was annoying. For someone less equipped, this could have been frustrating. Last, the neck (my fault for not spotting this before setting neck) has a spot where a gouge or something was epoxied. Doesn't affect playability, but not something I want to see when I pick up the guitar. So, it turned out well and was a good experience. I think that I would recommend vibeworks to friends. Thanks.

Glad your back in business.

The kit arrived on schedule and in good condition. The workmanship of the body and neck was excellent. The parts fit together without any problems. The resonator was built very well. I installed a three-way switch so I could use the neck and bridge pick-ups together or separately. I finished the guitar with a clear coat product called Waterlox- it really brought out the Mahogany grain. Overall, I am very pleased with the results and would defiantly consider building another kit in the future.

So good, I bought another!

The Resonator kit is wonderful! It’s a very straightforward build and my dad and I loved it so much, I immediately bought a second one! I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next project!
