No. 100% of the Coban DIY kit range is completely solderless, using quick-connect plug-and-play wiring. No soldering iron is required.

Finishing

The body is supplied unsealed — kiln-dried and seasoned, ready for you to sand, stain, paint or oil and then finish as you like.

Choose your own veneer top

Because many of our wood veneers (spalted maple, flamed maple, quilted maple and burl veneer) feature unique grain patterns, we offer a custom selection service: request photos of 2 or 3 actual kits currently in stock and choose your exact preferred top before dispatch.
