Electric Guitar Kit JA : Great kit for the price,over my expectations

This kit is great for the price,happy with the sound,look,parts...

If you have guitar repair skills,or if you are luthier or guitar repairman like myself you can make a great instrument out of this.

I made myself relic version in metallic blue,looks stunning.

All the holes lined up, frets are great from the factory,well leveled and crowned.No sharp or sticking out fret ends.

Only thing that I did was fine sanding and polishing them to the mirror finish.

PAINTING!-Body is not ready for basecoat and clearcoat.You will need 2-3 rounds of primer/filler and sanding before basecoat(paint) and clearcoat if you want a factory finish.I was going for grain texture so i just applied one coat of primer and sanded it lightly to seal the wood a little bit,and for better relic look wher primer would show along with that blue color...

After assembling I did a good setup and it is a really great guitar,no fret buzzing, no humming...Sound is great for the price,feels like at least 1000€ guitar...

My string height is 1.7 mm for low E string and 1.4 mm for high E string measured on 12th fret when 1st fret is pressed.

Pickup height and pole pieces height is also important. I was aiming for around 2.6mm on low E and 2.2 mm on high E when string pressed on last fret.Measured from top of pole piece to the bottom of the string.

Saddles were on the right place from the box,guitar is intonating perfectly from the factory.Truss rod was also needing jus a little bit of adjustment.Was almost perfect out of the box.

I used 9-42 Strings.

Overall if you have some skill I would highly recommend this kit.Im gonna order some more kits from harley benton for shure.
