Electric Guitar Kit ST-Style : Nice base for a starter custom guitar

4 years ago

It is a nice product for a starter guitar, but the quality of some components leaves much to be desired.

I assembled mine a year ago. The result was a nice average starter guitar, nothing outrstanding, but good one. Since then I've customized the guitar a lot: replaced the tremolo with a 2-point Wilkinson, installed locking machine heads and replaces pickups.

After a year of ruthless exploitation the tone potentiometer started to scratch, and 5-way switch stopped working in 2nd position.

So if you plan to customize your guitar with aftermarket parts, I can definitely recommend this kit. If you plan to make this your one and only guitar with the stock kit components - think twice.
