Electric Guitar Kit ST-Style : Amazing!

I wasn't expecting much for my 68 Euros, but it was apparent when it arrived that this was a quality, well-thought-out kit. EVERYTHING included, not a screw missing, decent enough neck and a nicely finished bare wood body (albeit not the most expensive timber).

I wanted the guitarto fit in a Seymour Duncan Humbucker (I had taken off another guitar), so I decided to give it a full custom job on the paintwork! The only mistake I made was not getting the right lacquer for the finish. To be honest, I am not sure what this should be...I have done one custom paint job using car lacquer, and this one I used wood lacquer...but the finish is a bit soft...Would recommend going for a polyurathane lacquer if you do it...and good luck finiding that in a spray can!

Back to teh guitar itself...I put on the fully-loaded pickup set supplied and was amazed at the quality of those...In the end I've decided to sell the Seymour Duncan and stick with the stock pickups! At some stage I may put some EMG Active Pickups in, but for the time being, I am jsut enjoying the sound of a guitar I built! I think a Bass will be next on the list
