This kit includes everything needed to build a Mandolin except for the body. The neck is Okume with a Walnut fretboard. Binding and face and side fret markers are included. The scale length is 13 3/4 inches. The neck also includes a truss rod. A compensated and adjustable Walnut bridge is included along with a chrome tailpiece. Tuners and a truss rod cover are included. Four pairs of stings are provided including .012, .016, .026 and .032 sizes. Tuning is GDAE.

Note: Keep in mind the tension created by 8 strings is substantial, all boxes will need additional reinforcement to handle the added stress. Make sure the top where the neck is connected is thick (close to 1/2" is ideal) and rigid. You will note that two hanger bolts are used to provide and solid connection between the neck and the box.

Electric Mandolin

I purchased the mandolin kit from MGB and it worked perfectly for my electric mandolin project. The kit came well equipped to finish the project and only a pickup and controls were needed.

Incredible

I have no experience with instruments or making them. This kit was very easy to use and made a beautiful instrument

Cigar box mandolin

It’s awesome. So looking forward to this build. Making my own box, Spanish cedar top, figured ash bottom and rosewood sides.

Great Kit!

Very good quality materials, the neck is stunning for the price. I look forward to trying other kits in the near future.

GREAT KIT!

I build creative instruments from almost anything. I've built two Mandolins using these kits. They are easy to integrate into a build. And they sound amazing as well.

I am waiting for more kits to come in as I have three builds waiting. Including one very creative build.
