Do Guitar Kit World Kits Come with Frets Already Crowned?Updated 8 days ago

Yes, all of our DIY guitar kits come with frets already installed and crowned at the factory.

What This Means

• The frets are already shaped so that they’re playable out of the box.

• You won’t need to install or crown them yourself.

What You May Still Need to Do

While the frets are factory-installed and crowned, many builders choose to do some light fretwork to make them perfect:

• Fret leveling – Ensuring all frets are exactly the same height.

• Fret polishing – Smoothing the surface for a slicker feel and easier bends.

• Fine-tuning – Small adjustments for your personal playing preference.

Why Extra Work May Help

DIY guitar kits are designed for hands-on builders who want to put the finishing touches on their instrument. Light fretwork is part of the process that can elevate your kit guitar from “good” to “great.”
