Electric Guitar Kit JA : Great kit

4 years ago

First of all this is a great kit.

Pros: freaking cheap, complete freedom of modding. Lightweight - it is the most lightweight guitar I have. Pickups are OK (ceramic magnet). Great pickguard (much better than one at the picture)

Cons: body cavities seems to be cut with bad route bit. Wood not cut clearly. Not a big problem thiugh.

Fingerboard has 3mm long deep saw chip - can be filled with epoxy or superglue. Tuners are very poor, I'd recommend to replace them just from the beginning with any HB's or anything.

I finished my kit with surf green color, defretted the neck (yes, it is fretless now!), cut headstock like on other HB's, replaced tuners, made pickups series/parallel/phase switchable.

It is a great guitar now! Worth every penny!
