Review Image by lazy
My 1st ever kit project. Good kit, everything lined up except the neck and the backplate needs some filling to fit, the neck needed to be sanded on both sides of the heal to fit the pocket, not bad at all though, i just used sand paper and a small file. I sanded the body down, wood filled once with grain filler and ebony stain mixed together, sanded again, applied ebony stain varathane brand. I waited a day. then i did 10 coats of wipe on poly( minwax polystain 2 in 1 pecan), then 4 final coats of wipe on poly (varathane ultimate wipe on poly in gloss). (I let each coat sit for 8ish hours before recoating) I let cure it for 24 days, sanded from 600 to 3000, then i buffed it out with maguires polish using a drill and sponge buffer weel. I did the neck with 8 coats of wipe on, headstock was ebony grainfilled, sanded, and then stained ebony, lastly i wiped on 8 coats of the minwax peacan poly. Total of 14 poly coats on the body, and 8 on neck, sanding in between every coat with 800 or 1000 grit. All the elctronics were solderless, even the ground to the bridge, all done with quick connects and pre-solderd. Studs went into the body faily easily, the floyd set up fine, tuners fit perfect, no stipped screws, claw fit fine, electronics all work. 9 outa 10 for me, would buy again in a heartbeat. ... show more

I really enjoyed putting this together. The instruction are adequate for my experience level. I’ve never put a parts guitar together before but I’ve taken enough of them apart to figure it out. I immediately replaced all the hardware as the quality was dubious. I was able to use guyker replacement parts for the basics, but I’m having trouble finding f-spaced replacements for the pickup parts. Your experience may vary, so be careful about the replacement part measurements. The bridge is adequate, but I’m actively looking for a replacement. The nut came slightly off-center but that is solvable when I replace it. That’s a little more advanced repair, but as it came, it’s still playable and is easy to play. The pickups hum, but still sound great when played with heavy distortion. They are replaceable. Playing clean is unremarkable. The neck and body are great and were easy to sand down. I really like the wood of the neck; so much that I left it alone, sanded it smooth and waxed it. I painted the head stock because I feel it is compulsory with this style of guitar. The frets need and still need lots of sanding and cleanup. They were sharp, but doing all that work is part of the experience I was looking for. The wood of the finger board is beautiful. It’s easily my favorite wood on the kit. It plays pretty good and needs some minor smoothing. Again, part of the experience. I’m planning on buying another when I’m finished with this one. But next time I’ll have all the hardware ready before I put it together as they would have informed my decisions as I built this one. It’s a little annoying that the back plate (trem spring cover) is not flush to the back of the body, but that is solvable with some router work. This would be 5 stars if the nut was set better and if the hardware was of a higher quality. I would pay more for the kit if it came with better hardware. There is plenty of room to be creative and do some customization. I’m leaving this comment because I found the other reviews so helpful when I was shopping for this a kit. ... show more

Everything arrived safely, in perfect condition, and packed neatly. There's no sharp edges on the frets and they are all level. The neck fits snugly into the body as it should.

Solid guitar kit
Decent kit. Neck to body fitment was great. Easy wiring with plug and play harness.

Absolutely fun and challenging. I built this in a weekend. Most of the parts seemed of solid quality. Assembly was pretty straight forward. All electronics came solderless, which was a huge plus! I swapped the strings for Mammoth Slinkys and tuned to B standard. The bridge is like a Floyd Rose clone, which may not be beginner friendly. Wiring diagram was a little tricky, and I accidentally mounted the toggle upside down, but no big deal. ... show more

I bought this more as a learning tool. I’m practicing making vinyl graphics and painting on guitars/basses. Like anything this kit has pro’s and con’s. My “H” pickups did not just drop in (see pic). The body needs to be dehydrated more, sanded smoother, and wood filler (StewMac has options and videos on this). If you’ve never owned a floating tremolo before, be ready to spend some time learning all of the different adjustments. Make sure you use a string and gauge you are use to. I used the included strings to just set my truss, pickup height, and tuning baseline. After that I installed Rotosound 10 nickels because I’m use to them. I’ve seen negative comments about instructions. There are none. They don’t even mark the bags “A,B,C” so you know your screw groups. My kit did come with plug-n-play pickups, knobs, etc, so that made that part simple (appears in the past you had to solder). ... show more

no instructions
instruction video way too fast. you would think making decent instructions would be the easy part. Got it together and it doesnt work. I had 2 rubber washers left over and no clue where they should go. This is NOT for beginners. A lot of work for no sound!

Not a kit you want to build as a beginner unless you can do a F R style bridge
Looks like any other guitar kit. Except the floyd rose style bridge. Looking forward to that as a new experience. Plug and play connections. Nothing hard for me but the bridge, not a kit for a beginner builder.
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2025 by Plenty of material and a pack of drills. Good deal.
