Electric Guitar Kit T-Style : Outrageous value and fun

This kit turned out much better than expected. From reading other reviews I was worried that the alignment of the pre-drilled holes might require filling and redoing but I had no such issues, at least when it came to the neck join and bridge. Looking very closely, some of the fittings (tuners, pickguard, control panel) aren't absolutely perfectly aligned, but within acceptable tolerances - such that any attempt to redo myself is unlikely to produce better results.

Assembly is fairly straight forward, though I found the instructions a little sparse. For example, no indication of which screws to use for which parts.

On setup, I found the intonation surprisingly good, very little adjustment needed. I probably got lucky there. Adjusting the truss rod was a little cumbersome, the strings feel like they are in the way more so than my other guitars.

Tuners are basic but perfunctory and no issues with the nut. The pickups sound fine enough, and the selector switch feels solid. However the volume pot is very uneven and the tone control not much better - they will be the first candidates for an upgrade.

What amazing value and fun little project. It's unbelievable that for such little money and a bit of effort you get a perfectly useable instrument (unless you need decent volume and tone control).
