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 3/8" is ideal) and rigid. You will note that two hanger bolts are used to provide and solid connection between the neck and the box.
I was pleasantly surprised with how complete and versatile the kit is. I am building a solid body electric mandolin. I will be ordering another for future projects.
a very nice neck and it worked perfectly for my project
This has been a really fun kit to tinker with and a nice value!
This kit had everything I needed except the cigar box and the electronics. I might buy another kit in the future.
Purchased for an upcoming project. The neck is beautifully made and the fact that it has two hanger bolts was a big selling point for me. Included hardware, bridge and strings seem appropriate and should work well. Overall, I like the fact this kit includes everything necessary for an acoustic build, minus the box / body. I’m happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone who may enjoy a cool project like this! Thanks MB! 😎
