Electric Guitar Kit T-Style : Amazing value for the price

5 years ago

I was blown away by this kit. Sure there are some small issues with pickguard holes not being perfectly aligned, and maybe some other minor issues, but overall this kit is amazing for the price.

The guitar has a very nice feeling, definitively doesn't feel like a 85€ guitar but a much higher range guitar.

The think that mostly blew me away was the resonance of this guitar. I had quite low expectations since it's super cheap but this guitar quickly became one of my favorites (and I do own some higher range guitars).

The kit is very simple to assemble, I didn't need the instructions at all (which have the entire assembly process explained very nicely if one would need help).

Pros:

- great value for price

- great acoustically sounding guitar

- the shape is very close to the original if not same

Cons:

- pickups sound a bit flat and empty (but it's not that bad and can always be replaced)

- frets needed a bit of polish (string bends were not so smooth in the beginning)

- nothing else

If you are thinking about building a guitar and are hesitating whether to purchase this kit, don't.

I owned this guitar for only 2 weeks and it already brought me so much joy both in building/modifying and playing it.

Highly recommended.
