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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I’d like this

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.

I never learned to play the violin.

Yeah for music!
I could carve a crutch out of the wood for Tiny Tim!
Yes please.
RAWR

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

This is the coolest kit yet! I always wanted to be a rocker.
hmm, i don’t know how to play a guitar, or how an electric guitar makes music on the pickup, maybe building one will fix that!
Just what I was looking for! I’m inspired.
Feeling lucky this time…
Some assembly required.
sweet
of all the cool stuff i haven’t won so far, this is one i’d really love to sink my teeth into! I’ve always wanted to build one, but I have so much fun playing them too!
What better way to start with guitar lessons.
Sign me up.
2 or 3 people at my house would love to make this!
This would make an awesome gift for my nephew.
groovy
I need an electric guitar!
This is cool. This would go well with the guitar I built in High School.
Entry: Let’s rock and roll
OHHH! Looks great!
Gibson, schmibson…Let me build my own.
Does this come with a flux capacitor and the possibility of inventing rock’n’roll?
One of my boys would love to build a guitar.
This’d be perfect for my steampunk guitar plan!
Can I comment without entering? My grandpa builds (actually used to build) acoustic guitars and I’m lucky enough to have one of them. I can’t play it, though. I’m a bassist and I can’t get my head around that odd interval. Strings should be in fourths! Don’t even get me started on Ukeleles! Anyway, I hope this goes to someone who can play it.
Grandpa actually made a couple violins too, and they came out pretty awful.
My youngest loves guitars!
Can’t wait to mod this!
A reason to learn fingering!
neat stuff
Word.
I could use one!
Good stuff in the giveaways!
Guitar!

Entry

Everybody wants some.
Adds another guitar to the collection. This one custom.
I feel a song coming on.
me! me?
Interesting.
Yes please.
A guitar is something I could use.
Okay. That looks like quite a bit of fun.
I’m afraid it would burst into flames if I were to play on it with my superhuman shredding skills…
Rock on!
personally I would prefer one of their bass kits, but this would be nifty to have, either way (might give me an impetus to learn how to play)
For those about to rock…we salute you!
Yes!
Woo! I wanna win!
yes – I need it!
Pick me pick me pick me!
After 19 years of playing guitar, bass and drums I would LOVE the chance to build an axe of my own.
That is one project I never thought of trying
Hello Cleveland!
Sounds good.
I really need one!
For those about to rock.
rock on in my house
Oooohh, fun!
This needs knobs that go all the way to 11.

Tis a spectacular mode of expression.
Rock out.
Dang I forgot to enter for the maker bot yesterday. Oh well, I could use another guitar!

Epic, I could build a guitar that I couldn’t play!

I’ve been thinking about getting an inexpensive guitar to try airbrushing on. It doesn’t get any cheaper than FREE. I’m in !!

One for the win. This would be a very fun kit to put together thought.
I am just starting to get into guitar building/rebuilding and this would be so much fun! I really want to try applying a fabric finish to a guitar. This would be a great kit to try it on!
Get my groove on.
This would make a sweet project to give my boy.
We will ROCK you!
I know my exchange student would love this.
Huh. ‘Twood Be Awesome To Build That.
van halen stripes

You cherish the things you build.

Maybe, just maybe, if I made my own guitar, then I’d have the gumption to actually learn to play it. That sounds about right.
I’d paint it seafoam green and play surf music on it
I would love to build a new talent… :-0

Comments are now closed! Should have gotten here sooner :)
This is a contest entry.
This is great.
Awesome, really want this
what fun it could be!!!
Not entirely sure about this one. I enter dozens of guitar giveaways and never win anything. But it is not clear to me whether this applies to the United Kingdom. as a competition don’t we count as makers, with the first ever interplanetary society, barbed wire. The first lightbulb . ( No it was not Eddison but Joseph Swan of Newcastle upon Tyne and I sat next to the original lightbulb in my first ever job. And saw it every time I raised my head, and I read about the court case where Eddison sued and lost. After years of fighting in American courts) culminating in the first ever commercial lightbulb being made by the Eddiswan lightbulb manufacturing company after Eddison admitted that Swan was the first. Also that his lightbulb was better as well. Add the Dewar (thermos) flask, machine guns, tanks, repeating rifle. The first ever t.
v. Transmission (not, de Forest,), the hovercraft. Penicillin the maps they used for the moon landing, the telescope( years ahead of any Italian claim, there was one offered to the admiralty who declined it’s use it as “ungentlemanly”) Radio transmission (despite the supporters of Tesla, who never actually built any radio) and a thousand and one other things from the bicycle, pneumatic tyres etc,etc etc. Do we not count as makers of things and by the way the jet engine technology that we shared with America when the war was over, and there was supposed to be a collaboration and suddenly the President after taking all our knowhow decided that no. The US would not share. Add the Canadian aircraft that beat everything that America could design or build, that false promises were made to the Canadian government, to protect their airspace by missiles, never built, bye, bye Avro. If this is going to happen as a makers movement worldwide, let’s start by making things fair and see that the proper acknowledgement is made for others, rather then the than American interests and p.s. The Wright brothers did not make the first powered flight either, and admitted as much prior to handing their aircraft to the museum, when they attached a codicil to their gift. Stating that the machine would only be allowed to remain if the museum never acknowledged any other rightful claim to this first powered flight
We are, all of us, as a group, inveterate tinkerers , and doers as well as sharers, anything else is just emotional masturbation, partisanship, should not rear it’s ugly head.

Do have a nice day. As y’all say.
Hi Antony, this giveaway is from about five and a half years ago. I don’t think it’s still going on, sorry!
Actually this is in response to an email I received yesterday from the “makezine” and even worse. It had three different dates involved, the first is 2011, the second is 2012, the third is the date of posting, the. 8th of August 2016, I know some sites can get a little behind in their workloads, but sending out a posting five years late, is stretching it a bit too much. Is there some odd editorial policy for overseas makers, that we should be told about?
Thanks anyway.
Hey Antony — I agree that’s pretty strange. We’re not aware of anything like what you’ve described that could have come from Make:, but we’d like to look into it. If you still have that email handy, would you mind forward it to Heather at hcochran@makermedia.com ? Thanks for your help!
