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. You also must be 18 years old to enter (Kids: Ask your parents to enter). See the Kit-A-Day Giveaway landing page for full sweepstakes details and Official Rules.
Important Note: If you enter this drawing, when it’s over, please check the place where you registered to comment (eg. Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter) and make sure your profile is visible. Some people are winning these kits and then not responding when we send them a message using the available means of contacting them. We want to make sure you get your giveaway!
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!!!!!
:D
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.

Entry
Do want.

Let’s give this one a shot.
My Brother would love this!

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.

I always wanted to learn to play guitar…
This one’s a little different!
Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain–This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.

Dear Make Santa,
I now understand that I’ve been too bad this year for you to give me a MakerBot. I would have most likely used it for evil deeds anyway. But an instrument to express my dishearten anguish would help heal the dark spot in my heart. I’ve already composed a song for my first YouTube release, The MakerBot Blues. Please slide down my chimney with this guitar kit. I have a hot fire and some curdled milk waiting for you.
Count me in, the kid would love it.
My daughter would love this!
ME ME ME!!!

Man I so want this. I’ve been looking at guitars lately because I am itching to try out that new game, Rocksmith. This would be the perfect way to get into the game.
Might actually get me started on playing the guitar for good. Plus it would just be fun to build.
I could drive my neighbors crazier with this one.
SAGA S STYLE GUITAR KIT Another great Kit-A-Day Giveaway I would love to win

My son could use another guitar.
Rock on!
What fun!
This would bring the total of disassembled guitars in my house to exactly two!
Rock! and Roll! because someone in our house would love to upgrade from toy RockBand guitars…
Another fun kit
I need a new guitar and a project. This is a twofer in my opinion.
Get my rock on!
Guitar project? Cool!
My neighbors will surely hate me now!
Ah guitars!
The guitar kit rocks!
I had to sell my ’83 strat years ago – would love to get back to playing again – this kit would be wonderful!!
Might be time to finally learn to play.

Does it come with a healthy dose of talent as well?
I ax you to put me in the contest drawing.
Want!
sounds like fun.
*drool*
In!
Yeah, I’m in like five bands. Well, they are all in Rock Band, but we really have potential.
Oh man I’d love a Strat kit!! m/
Dear Make people, none of these other posters really like you, they’re just pretending. I do really like you and that’s why you should give me the guitar kit, to teach all these other people a lesson.
and then it plays itself?
im hoping to get the bass for christmas, but the would help my Rocksmith hopes hehe
Yes please.
I’d love to give this to my daughter
Looks like a cool project. I could use an. “s-style” guitar.
NOT WINNING (trying a different approach)
Cool!

Sweet, this seems like it would be a fun project to do!
Definitely would enjoy this. I have several guitars but have always wanted to build one.
I don’t know how to play guitar, but it would be fun to build and I know someone who would like to have it.
My better half is a music teacher, most of her family are musical as well… I would have fun with this…

This would make a neat gift!

As a maker and a guitarist, I’ve wanted to build my own axe for a long time. Fingers crossed for this one!
Wow, cool kit!
This would be a fun kit to get. I used to work with a guy that would hand make amazing guitars and always wanted to try it myself.

This would look nice alongside my CBG’s.
wow, very cool
I’d like this

I’m a mandolin player, but I could be persuaded to pick up the guitar if I got this kit.

I’ve seen some really nice results from SAGA kits . . .
Your guitar kit is intriguing to me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I’d be shreddin’
as long as it goes to someone named Clay, I’m happy.
-ping- I’m a luthier!
This kit is begging for a USB sound card mod to easily plug into my PC.
alright, this is my guitar kit.
Whoo hoo looks like a sweet kit! Hope I win! :D
This looks radically cool!
diy guitar w00t!
Now that’s what I need

with a handmade guitar to play.
Rock on!
Will this guitar slowly weep?
Nice choice
A whammy bar and everything! If I don’t win I’ll be hitting the wah wah pedal!
music to my ears
I’m in…
This would be fun!
Rock on, Santa!!!
This would be very cool to build
I never learned to play the violin.
How badly could I mangle _this_ build?
Yeah for music!
I could carve a crutch out of the wood for Tiny Tim!
Yes please.
RAWR
playing guitar might make me look cool
does the cleverness of my remark increase my chances
I always wanted a Stratocaster. This is even better, ’cause it won’t look like anyone else’s strat!
not a maker bot but still pretty cool
I want this, its a flute, right?
Here’s my comment…now pick me! :)

This would be an amazing gift.
That is the most complicated Guitar Hero controller I hand ever seen.
Will it break into pieces when i smash it on stage after my concert?
I’d love to add this to my collection of instruments
That sounds like a fun project
Built a SAGA strat for my father-in-law a few years back. I strongly recommend drilling out the neck mounting holes in the body to get a better fit and better neck stability. It will save a LOT of tuning/intonation problems later on. Still, a fun project to do with my kids!
I’ll take one.
oh that looks sweet!
chordially greetings!
Nice
i think i would build a few effect circuits into it, like reverb and maybe an electronic whammy.
Interesting!
I would enjoy putting this together.
This would be fun
that is super cool!
This would be very fun to build
This would be so cool to build – Yea MAKE!
I have this overwhelming urge to play…FREEBIRD!!
Coo-el.
Signing up.
Will learn to play it…
This looks fun!
Rock out!
Pick me!
Only the banjo would make me happier.
building your own guitar would be cool
Please let Santa stop at my house! What a cool giveaway!
A perfect way to learn how a guitar works is to build your own.
wah, wah.

My rockstar of a husband would love this!
Time to rock the house!
What a cool gift! my rockstar of a husband would love this!
