Electric Guitar Kit ST-Style : Fantastic Strat if you put in the effort and have the knowledge

I'll start with saying that I originally gave this 1 star and was very disappointed in the kit due to a few issues I had such as the tuners screw breaking off in the headstock or the springs claw bending to the springs pressure or the holes for the bridges screws being asymmetrical.

The thing is that you're buying an extremely cheap kit that has DIY in the title and due to it being a strat which is an extremely customizable guitar you can fix basically anything with enough time, effort, and most importantly knowledge.

I had a ton of issues and had no prior experience with any of this and barely knew how to even setup my own guitar but I used the help of people online in woodworking communities and guitar communities and personal friends and managed to overcome all the obstacles and the result is honestly pretty amazing! A nearly fully functional stratocaster that rivals and even beats the ones that are 100-150$, especially if you hit it with a few small upgrades like locking tuners, and a proper setup and fret levelling (though I didn't really have any major issues with the frets other than the 17th and 19th). Be prepared to put in time and effort but also be prepared for a fantastic fun and usable guitar that I personally will be using often and am proud to look at.

(RATING EXPLANATION: )

If being honest I'm not sure this guitar deserves a 5 star rating simply due to the mess I had to deal with (things that should be prevented in QC). The thing is that the more I play on this the more I enjoy it, It sounds surprisingly excellent and I managed to set it up with pretty low action with only some issues that still render it playable to a certain degree. The rating may not be accurate to the quality of the parts but the resulting guitar with all the work put in is definitely worth 5 stars. A custom strat thats fit for you perfectly and that you design yourself, absolutely amazing for the price!
