We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!
To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.
Today’s giveaway is for a SAGA S-Style Guitar Kit. Here web ninja Jake Spurlock’s review from the issue (he built the T-Style version):
Love to play the guitar, and want to add something custom to your kit? The Saga Electric Guitar Kit offers a blank canvas for guitar building. You could paint it, stain it, or classically distress it to look like your favorite guitar idol. In addition to the guitar body, the headstock has a paddle shape that lets you cut whatever design you want. All of the holes are drilled, and all connections are solderless. The barrier to custom guitar building has dropped, allowing anybody to own a personalized guitar.
To be eligible for today’s giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below in this post. The entry period for today’s prize will be until 11:59pm PST tonight. We’ll choose one person at random, you’ll be notified by email, and you’ll have 48 hours to respond. The Winners List is kept on the Giveaway landing page. That’s it! No purchase necessary or anything else to do. Please leave only one comment per post. You can enter as many giveaways as you like until you win. This giveaway is for US residents only.

Because one taken-apart guitar simply isn’t enough
Mighty nice!
Over here in the garage we say, “Gee-tar”
The journey to become the next Eddie Van Halen begins… Some assembly required.
Sweet Sweet music.
Very lovely!
If Les Paul could build his own guitar, so can you!
Looks like a fun project. If I win, I’ll have to brush up on my guitar playing skills… yay!
Sweet!
I hope I win!
thank you !
Man that would be good fun to put together
sweet
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Hello
ill enter, but I dont even want this one.
Would love to build this with my son, he wants a new guitar!
Yes!!! I’ve always wanted to build my own guitar!!!!!
I’m in
Rock on!
Sweet!
Must win!!!
It’s not a Makerbot but I’m still willing to win…. But if I win this that means that I can’t have a chance at Makerbot 5 of 5!
Oooh… I have a nephew who would looooove this!
Cool!
I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk!
This could be a fun build with the kids. . .
I want one!!!
And if I win and get built in time I can play it with Rocksmith on my PC.
Running out of chances to win here.

I don’t play, but I know those who do!
Looks interesting
I would love this! My son is getting a 3/4 guitar for Christmas and with this I would learn to play with him!
I’ll bite.
I was actually planning to make a guitar once the holidays were over; this would make that project much simpler.
Sweet kit. ”Free” makes it even better.
This one goes to eleven.
I always wanted to make my own guitar…
So cool!
man I’d love that guitar looks like a great thing to spend some time with
I would so love to win an electric twanger!
Yeah, this one could be cool, although I’m not really able to play well, perhaps my son would have fun when he got older
Entry
Do want.
Yes, please.
Let’s give this one a shot.
My Brother would love this!
My son would love this!
Next. Lol..
As a long time acoustic player looking to plug in for a change (and have a cool story to go with it) this could be a fun project.
Fun kit!
Would go nice with my cigar box guitars
Hey, neat! I’ve wanted to learn how to build an instrument – ok, I’m not getting raw wood, cutting, sawing, grinding, etc, like a luthier friend of mine, but the idea is fine nonesoever. And is there a better way to ROCK!?!
This is an amazing kit!
I’ve had my eye on these guitar kits for a while. Very nice.
i would mod the heck out of this thing.
This would look great with blinkenlights recessed in the fret board indicating chord positions. Would an arduino fit behind the back cover plate?
Whoa! I could get down and funky!
Want!!!!!
Always wanted a good excuse to learn guitar!
Cooool…
I’d like to learn to play the guitar… And building my own guitar sounds like a good place to start.
Ooh! Fun!
Entered
My girlfriend would love this!
How cool it would be to make music on a guitar you made yourself.
Yes please.

Amazing!
Oh this would be so cool.
