Electric Guitar Kit JA : Super Value! Be prepared to upgrade…

I was able to assemble and setup this guitar in less than 2 hours. It plays better than my Fender strat, but it doesn’t sound as good though (yet).

I have ordered new Pots, Tuning heads, and Nut, with a total cost about the same as this kit. The next place I will spend money on is the pickups, but I want to see how the above changes affect the tone first.

I bought this kit looking for an inexpensive platform to learn how to adjust and modify an electric guitar, something I can screw up so I don’t damage my nice guitars while learning. I have been very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this instrument, it’s got great “bones”. But, it does need some quality components to really shine.

If you are hesitant to dig into the electrics, definitely change the tuners. The ones provided are the weakest link and easiest thing to change. Remember, every time you pick up the guitar you’re going to check if it’s in tune.

Happy building, happy playing.

Cheers!
