Electric Guitar Kit DC Style : Well worth the money, if you have the time.

Firstly, this is a great product for the money you pay out. Its a blank canvas to really express yourself and learn the intrinsic method behind guitar construction. If you've the time and patience, a great instrument can come from these kits.

I've been assembling guitars from unrelated, refurbished and hand-crafted parts for several years and these kits caught my eye as a quick and fun departure from the rugged learning curve of trying to make guitars from scratch. However, there is no quick and easy assembly. You need time, patience and certainly some common sense, not to mention some understanding of wood-working methods. Modification was necessary on both the kits i put together to achieve a good playable guitar at the end.

The parts are of good, basic quality. Though i removed the solderless wiring loom and hand wired a simpler circuit. The body and neck balance well, though i wouldn't use the strap pin hole provided, as this led the guitar to be neck heavy.

I wont go into the finishing etc, that's the self-indulgent part ;)

If you've even the slightest incline toward wanting to try one of these kits, just do it. Its a load of fun!
