Electric Guitar Kit Single Cut : All up to you

6 years ago

An amazing kit in total, but let me break down the various different parts for clarity and to help set some proper expectations.

Wiring:

In general is kind of ok if you really have no clue what you are doing, but my advice would be to use something better for various reasons (scratching sounds, loud hiss, sticky knobs, bad switch),

Pickups:

They almost make the sounds you need them to, as long as you don't compare them to something else.

But the second you put a better set of pickups (irongear?) in it you'll have a beautifully singing masterpiece.

General hardware:

It works.

Change the tuners and you will get better tuning stability. Change the bridge and you will have better intonation, better sustain and less weird overtones.

Add some graphite in the nut slots (draw in them with a pencil) and it's just fine for now.

Wood and general make:

Amazing!

In all fairness, this is what you paid for. Everything else matters little.

Sand your surfaces with no shortcuts, show the finish some love, do a proper set up, do a fret dress and you have a GREAT guitar.

Summary: 98 euros of amazing possibility!
