Electric Guitar Kit DC Style : Great kit for people looking to start building guitars

The kit arrived in a box containing three more boxes. The outer box had some dents in it, but because of the inner boxes, all the parts arrived safely and intact.

The wood of the body was already pre-sealed so it only required some light sanding in order to start painting. This was a breeze, I decided to do a satin white paint job on the body and front of the headstock.

The neck was a tab thick for my liking, therefore I took it to the belt sander to take approximately 2 mm of the back. This allowed me to make into more of a flat-backed neck in resemblance of an Ibanez neck.

The frets required a small amount of filing to get the sharpness off. This was not that difficult and to be expected on a kit under 100.

The end result is a well-playing guitar that definitely doesn't sound the best (again expected for under 100), but plays pretty good.

For me, this was more of an entry into building guitars in general and it therefore didn't matter what the sound was like. I heavily recommend it for this purpose, but not as a great guitar as is. Changing the pickups and electronics might make it a long way to a half-decent guitar though.
