Electric Guitar Kit Single Cut : Love building these kits!

10 years ago

Having built the Tstyle kit recently I caught the bug and fancied a go at the LP as they are such a lovely looking instrument. This one was also promptly delivered and well packed. The body was far better finished than the Tstyle and came up beautifully with Pelham blue on the front and butterscotch tinted lacquer on the sides and back. The neck joint needed a bit of work to get a snug fit. It was just a touch too tight but a simple task just to ease the fit with a chisel. As others have reported the volume pots are wired incorrectly. It's a simple job to remove the red wires from the pick ups from the centre connection on the pots and resolder to the left hand connection. The nut was also a bit high for my liking but was easily removed and the base carefully filed to improve the action. It's worth taking the time to trial fit the pickups, they are different as you'll find out if you fit one in the wrong place! The instructions are ok but don't go into great detail, you will need to be able to work done things out for yourself. Now, don't let any of the above put you off, there's nothing that will cause a serious oroblem, it's really quite simple to put the kit together if you're aware if the above and can do a simple bit of soldering. The end result is a nice looking guitar that plays very well considering the price and has a nice sweet mellow sound or can certainly rock if that's your style. I'm well pleased with it and hope you get as much pleasure from yours as I have from mine!
