Building a stratocaster with a DIY guitar kit can be one of the most rewarding things a guitar player can do - you'll learn how to do a proper stratocaster setup, intonation and how to do a paint job properly. This low-cost guitar kit can also facilitate as a test guitar for crazy sonic experiments! Building one yourself will also give you a keener eye for detail the next time you purchase a new guitar. The end project will probably be one that you'll keep for life. Here are some detailed step-by-step videos showing how to build a stratocaster using a Strat kit.
