Electric Guitar Kit ST-Style : Love it!

Let's cut to the chase. The important things to know is that the wood is basswood, it has 22 frets, and the pickups aren't exactly fantastic, but are of a similar standard to squier strats.

I bought this with the plan of changing the stock pickups. When I first got it, I put it together with the original pickups just to hear it, and it sounds okay, but not a guitar I would take onto stage. After replacing the pickups with some more expensive hot rods the guitar has become a dream to me. 22 fret means easy soloing, and with a little adjusting I also managed to get the action lower than normal with minimum buzzing.

Basswood is what a lot of cheaper guitars are made of, but even some more expensive ones are too because of its tone qualities. Just one note, basswood is easily dented so extra care is required.

I recommend this kit for those interested in making a guitar for the first time. It's definitely a worthwhile investment as it can be upgraded with better pickups later. The main parts of the guitar that matter to me (the neck, frets and bridge) are all good!

Very happy with this buy!
