  • Just received, so far 5 stars update- it works Just received, so far 5 stars update- it works
Set name: DIY ST Roasted Pine
Just received it. This kit is very well done. About all you have to do is sand it, finish the wood and assemble the pieces. There is an assembly booklet. The steps are very easy. I checked the pick guard and neck for fit - good. Checked the jack for fit -- had to rotate the connector and bend a lug. The neck and body are smooth. I will sand the neck and body with 400 then 800 grit. I don't plan on changing the shape of the head, I think it looks fine. There is a Fender Stratocaster template if you want to change it. The neck will be coated with Tung Oil or Gun Stock Oil. Not sure about the fret board protection. The body will be stained a transparent blue with a solid blue, same tint, on the side and back. I may use a tiny bit of black stain around the front and sides, rubbing most off, but not sure yet. The body is roasted pine. The grain on mine is very nice, not super bold. The back has more bold grain but that is fine. Very satisfied so far. Will report back when the build is complete. Update: it is working. I don't believe the instruction booklet shows how to add the copper shielding. I lined the voids where the pickup goes. It has conducting adhesive. I used 9 coats of Tru Oil on the neck and fret board. Very thin layered. Looks and feels great. I applied two coats of Howard Feed-N-Wax to the neck and body. I used a water based blue stain, putting it on so it streaked. It shows the grain through under the streaks. Looks unique. It sounds good to me. Setup: the nut was very high. Fret the 3rd it should be 0.2mm at the 2nd - was way over, like 1mm. I filed it with cheap $7 round nut files - get a $25 file set as you cannot hold on to the small round files. The top needs to be filed so the strings are 1/3 in the slot (verify). It needs to be angled deeper at the head end. The neck truss bar may need adjusting to stop fret buzz. Don't adjust without string tension. Be sure the bridge saddles aren't maxed in either direction - it is a 25.5 inch guitar, inside nut edge to the contact point on the saddle. From there, the saddle needs adjusting for intonation when fretting at the 12th fret - same note as open, just higher frequency. Watch YouTube videos before filing the nut! The nut can be replaced with a bone nut but if the height is wrong, it will have to be filed down or it will hurt to play, particularly the first couple frets. ... show more

  • Good value if you know what you're doing
Set name: DIY ST Paulownia
This is for the ST kit in Paulownia wood. The kit is complete, with working electronics and straight wood. The instructions are minimal, but workable if you know how guitars go together or have a good book to help you (Dan Erlewine or Paul Balmer's books are my favorites). If you do your own repairs and adjustments, you won't have any major challenges here. The materials are basic, but well made. They've thoughtfully put connectors on the wires so there's no soldering. Make sure you've gotten any glue off the body and fretboard. If I do another one, I will sand the body down a little more than I did, and use some wood grain filler before I stain it. I also put a smooth finish on the back of the neck, but that's a matter of personal preference. You don't even have to stain/paint it -- the unfinished wood is attractive enough. It plays and sounds like an SSS strat. I might upgrade the pickups, but these will be fine for a while. I didn't like the too-tall plastic nut; I replaced it with one made of bone. If you don't have experience installing a floating bridge/trem, try a kit with a hardtail. Is it fancy? No. But the kit is fun and easy to build and, for me at least, has resulted in a pretty good instrument that is enjoyable to play. ... show more

  • You can build great-playing guitars You can build great-playing guitars
I've now built three of the Leo Jaymz kit guitars - the SG style (my first build), the T style (2nd build), and the Explorer (AX) style. Overall, I've hugely enjoyed them and I'm definitely addicted to these things :) The good: - Complete kits, at least for me everything fit together well - Good quality woods. Maybe I just got lucky, but all three of my kits had nice grain, no knots, no issues with the woods. The maple neck on my T style has some quite impressive grain once stained. The AX kit had a small glue stain on the front, but since I was going for a "beat up, reclaimed wood" look, it was no big deal. - Good fret boards - other than polishing the frets and cleaning up 1-2 sharp frets, there was nothing I had to do other than oil the necks. - The price! My wife would tell you it was a relatively cheap way to keep me occupied for weeks :P - The AX guitar had quick connects for the electronics. A welcome surprise! The less good: - The instructions, especially for the SG style, leave a lot to be desired in their clarity. There are definite suggestions on how to make instructions clearer to reduce mistakes. Because of my mistakes on the first guitar, I didn't make any on the 2nd, so that's a plus. The AX style guitar had no instructions at all. So don't do that one first. The subjective: - After the builds, both guitars are quite playable and sound very good. The SG has relatively tame pickups (~9.1k & 9.5k), so hotter than an under-wound PAF, but not super modern either. Sounds very good with some overdrive. I ended up swapping the TL pickups with an aftermarket set since there was a specific sound I was going for. I put an Alpha/Omega set in the Explorer, and they sound epic. I didn't bother checking the output on the stock pickups. - Hardware is all serviceable. If you asked what I would replace, in this order: Tuners, nut, pickups, anything else. That said, both guitars stay in tune just fine. Some lessons learned: - Mock up all the components before you assemble or paint anything. On the SG style guitar, it turns out if you just use the measurements in the instructions, at least on mine, the neck gets glued too close to the pickup for the pickup ring to fit. It also means the intonation is slightly off now that it's all assembled. Similarly, on the T style, the aftermarket bridge pickup was slightly larger than the cavity in the wood. No big deal, i just shaved a couple mms of wood off and now it's a perfect fit. - On both guitars, there's a ground wire that goes to the bridge. Forgetting it on the T style bridge isn't a big deal, since you can just remove the bridge with a few screws. On the SG guitar, you can't remove the bridge screw holes once they are in, so i had to get some conductive adhesive to make the ground wire work. Now that I've built a couple, I will definitely build more. Particularly for guitars in a style of music I don't normally way, it's a great way to get an instrument you like at a good price, and get some good enjoyment along the way. If you are trying to do this to get a PRS 10 top instrument for $200, you'll probably be disappointed. If you are doing this for fun and to come out with a totally great playable instrument, you'll have a lot of fun doing this. ... show more

  • No better option for a patient lefty. No better option for a patient lefty.
Vanelope Von Schweet Strat turned out to be a great guitar. The pick guard came pre wired which was a nice surprise, even though i was looking forward to soldering. Only one hiccup during the building process, the tip of the output jack made contact with the cavity, causing a short. After some quick work with a dremel, it assembled fine. The copper tape was a nice touch and made the build feel classy. After building it didn't take long to tune it up, though i did have to shave the nut down to relieve some of the high action. Now she plays nice and easy. The pickups are way stronger than I was expecting. It sounds great with any pedal and amp I run it through. It's definitely my favorite electric guitar. It was a good kit. Came with more than I expected. Some reviews mention it didn't have an instruction manual, and that was true. But this wasn't my first kit so I wasn't going to read it anyway even if it was included. ... show more

  • Some sanding is required. Some sanding is required.
Set name: DIY ST Roasted Pine
Overall the kit is very nice, however it's not ready to be assembled. Both the body and the neck are rough. The body is coated in a sealer but the sanding job is subpar and will require a good sanding. There are deep scratches across the grain on the top and bottom near the tail. There is also a hole in the bridge humbucker position that has some chip out in the spring cavity but that's not a critical issue. The Neck. It will need a light sanding and the frets have some sharp edges. Radius is 12 inches. All holes are pre-drilled which is nice. I would recommend this body kit because the cost is worth the neck and body alone. The extremely careful when removing the plastic nut from the neck. Mine was extremely glued in and unfortunately I created a little minor damage that I was able to fix by gluing a small piece of the fretboard back into the neck. The Tremelo. One of the six screws used to secure the tremolo with not bite into the hole requiring two pieces of toothpick to fix the problem. ... show more

  • Neck, body, pickguard and tuners are worth keeping... the rest is garbage.
Set name: DIY ST TD
Not junk. But not good either. Anyone without any guitar building or setup knowledge could never make this kit work. First of all, the frets are nowhere near to being level. Fret buzz and dead strings would have been horrendous. I had to do a complete fret level. The fret ends were not balled and are very sharp. There is glue residue on the neck where the fretboard was glued. There are small fissures in the wood body. There are deep sanding marks on the inside curvatures of the body. The pickup design is terrible, which prevents the pickups from being adjusted properly and sitting in the pocket correctly. The pickup tops are not flat. They are both angled and slightly higher in the middle where they meet. Not sure if this is by design or not. The cloth tape around the pickup windings is very sloppy. I will be installing a quality humbucker. The tuners are cheap but not sloppy. With a lot of work, which I had anticipated, the neck and body alone are worth the purchase price. Something I can work with. I bought this kit to build a cheap guitar so I could donate it to a guitar school for kids. I will go ahead and spend a few dollars to make this guitar worthy for donation. I can make it work only because I have guitar building skills. Otherwise, I would have no chance of building a playable guitar. This is my first experience with a Leo Jaymz product and I am not impressed. 03/08/26 update: the string-through body holes are misaligned making it impossible to use without redrilling the body holes to fit this hardtail bridge. I tried fitting other bridges I had and none of those worked either. I have elected to use a higher quality top-load hardtail bridge to complete this build. You can use the bridge that came with the kit for top loading your strings. You just have to deal with the unused holes in the body. 03/13/26 update: the jack input opening prevents the cord jack from plugging in all the way. I will have to enlarge the opening inside the cavity to make it work. Problem after problem with this kit. Shameful. ... show more

  • What a fantastic deal. Great wood on both ends, the neck and the body
Set name: DIY ST TD
I honestly don't want to write a review on these things, but I'm going to do it for the benefit of others for the price you pay for this thing. It's absolutely amazing. The condition of the neck and the body. We're both pristine and Way beyond my expectations. This is a great guitar to buy versus the alternative which is about $1,200. I mean for less than $100. You're getting superb quality. I did swap out some parts just due to taste. However the ones they come with are more than adequate. The condition of everything was absolutely great. The pickup on this guitar is more than acceptable and does just fine. The tuners on most of these are satisfactory. I prefer split shaft tuners. That's just a personal preference again for the price you're paying. You really are getting a super great deal. I hate to end this at the end but every guitar buying experience is unique. I got two great ones. ... show more

Nice kit, fun to put together. easy to piece together. My only issue is that I had to buy neck shims and shim the neck to get the action to be playable. After a little tinkering I was able to get it. plays nice. The tuning pegs are kinda cheap so you may wanna buy new ones. they stay in tune, but there is issue with the feel quality. nice quality wood. pretty and feels good. I plan to go over it with a super high grit sand paper and a finish oil. ... show more
