Electric Guitar Kit DC Style : Good kit and a lot of fun

The kit was a lot of fun to finish and put together. I was planning on sanding the entire guitar down to bare wood anyway, but when i saw the sanding sealer I knew it was a good choice to begin with. With that said, after the elbow grease of getting through the sealer, I was able to stain the basswood body with a deep cherry red (traditional color) and the body took the stain nicely. It was finished with a wipe on poly, and turned out quite well. The neck is a nice shape, scale is right on, and it feels good after going down to bare wood, and finishing with tru-oil. I sanded the neck pocket a few mm's too low when trying to straighten it out so it was necessary to put a shim in the neck pocket, which is not uncommon. The electronics are sub-par to the say the least, which was expected at this price point. Overall its a really accurate copy, short of the set neck. For a project guitar, and my first kit build/refinish, it turned out great and would love to do another one.
