Electric Guitar Kit ST-Style : Excellent

I bought this kit as a base for a strat build that I did. It came very well packaged and in good condition. As for the kit itself:

Body: 3 pieces of basswood glued together, presanded and ready to paint, with all holes predrilled. Perfect for those who want to put the guitar together as it is. The only flaw that I could find was a hole being just a little off, to the point it is almost unnoticeable, but that is only for the eye of the perfectionist. A very good job. If I would change something, it would be the routing, going for HSS or HSH, instead of the SSS, just to make things easier for us little humbucker loving fellas. 😊

Neck: Straight, no fret sprout, the fretwork was overall good, the frets were leveled and crowned. The only thing I had to do was shape the headstock up and polish the frets. I did change the nut, not because the original one was unfit for the job, I just wanted a tusq nut. In all honesty, I believe that the neck is the strongest point of this kit.

Electronics: From what I saw, everything was decent. Clean wiring job, nice soldering points and it was overall a better wiring job than others I have seen on guitars 4 and 5 times the price. Soundwise, I cannot say anything, as I do my own wiring on every guitar that I have, this kit included. Extra points for making it easy for beginners, as the kit's original electronics do not need any soldering.

Hardware: Even though I did not use any of the hardware, I could tell that the quality for the price is unbeatable. Very good for a decent playing guitar, great for beginners and intermediate players. The tuners were not stiff at all, the tremolo is the classic 6-screw trem and it can be upgraded in the future for little money, for those who do not wish to replace it. Everything though is a good starting point for a decent instrument.

To summarise, great body, excellent neck, good electronics and decent hardware. All in all this kit is amazing. I totally recommend it to beginner and seasoned builders alike.
