Electric Guitar Kit Single Cut : not good....

11 years ago

i may have to deal with a defective piece but

BODY WOOD : outside surface was nice and smooth,but EVERY cavity was full of splinters...had to sand quite a lot to make it at least bearable...on the neck cavity there was some sort of hole,that was filled up with glue and wood chips and was not sanded down at all....

ELECTRONICS : way too much wire for one guitar....could barely fit it into the cavities...i liked the way they have made it so that you dont have to solder anything...but one of the wire broke on the soldered connection and i had to reconnect it with some more wire...overall not bad electronics.....

SCREWS : this was a nightmare....i had to re-drill almost EVERY screw hole....the pickup frames,the keys on the headstock....almost everything....

PLASTICS : they had a really cheap feel....but not bad....what bothered me was that the control cavity cover was not cut the right way and doesnt have a good fit....

NECK-BODY JOINT : i really dont know what to say about this.....since the guitar is a curved top,the fretboard should be parallel to the body's angle where they connect.....on mine they are not....i could really stick my finger under the strings and still not touch them....i have to fill the screw holes on the neck,make a new angles piece that will be stuck on the neck joint,and then re-join them...

OVERALL : if you dont mind having some real work to do besides a simple assembly its nice....otherwise its a bit too messy
