Electric Guitar Kit DC Style : Easy Build

11 years ago

Took only a few hours to build this guitar. Needs a little knowledge about setting up intonation and the neck tension to get the best out of it. I ditched the supplied pickups (quite acceptable quality) and fitted a couple real vintage CSM humbuckers I had spare. I also replaced the Nut with a quality graphite stepped one and filed it down to suit the string height I required. Bridge height and neck adjustment too a little longer to set up. Needed to enlarge the scratch plates bridge post holes to get the bridge posts to sit lower in the guitar.

Strap stud relocated to wing on body rather than back of neck area.

Now it plays well and stays in tune very well over long periods when hanging on the wall bracket in the living room. This the guitar I don't mind visitors having a shot of when partying and consuming alcohol. I keep my expensive quality guitars safely locked away in the case. Great for taking out to barbque's etc. Not worried if it gets abused.

I also replaced the supplied strings with known quality ones.

Great price. Easy build.
