Take a break from playing guitar by building this guitar - grab a LEGO strat for 20% off with this Black Friday bargain
Woodworking tools or skills not required

Fact: the LEGO name comes from smashing together the Danish words 'leg godt', meaning 'play well'. A noble aspiration for any guitarist, and one we're happy to help with here on MusicRadar. But be honest, we're not all effortlessly brilliant players all the time. Sometimes you just need to unwind, and we can't think of many better ways than building your own LEGO strat.
LEGO Fender Stratocaster: $119.99, now $95.99
Yours for 20% off at Amazon this weekend, this LEGO build is a lovingly crafted recreation of a '70s Fender Strat, plus 65 Princeton Reverb, including viewable motherboard and reverb tank guts.
This isn't a half-hearted slab of merch that just looks a bit like a guitar either. It's a lovingly crafted homage to Fender's iconic instrument. Specifically, it's an IRL pixelation of a 1970s model, featuring a posable whammy bar, pickup switch, working tuning pegs, strings, Fender stickers and a textile strap.
There's even a Fender 65 Princeton Reverb amp with removable panels that reveal the motherboard, reverb tank and speaker. All that's missing is a pick, but you can afford a pile of them with this Black Friday saving. It really is the ideal gift - for yourself.
