Far far better than expected. Great job by Harley Benton.

Good kit if you want to have fun with mods

This guitar will not sound like a Telecaster, nor will it be of the same quality. For me it was the introduction to guitar and it gave me more than I could ask for. A cheap introduction into guitars and an accesible way to mod a guitar beyond any recognition. Overall - you get what you pay for - an opportunity to get into something new (without breaking the bank)

Easy build

One of the easiest self builds on the market. What makes it so easy to build is the quality of the materials. They are all excellent and well fitting. Don’t be tempted to go elsewhere as this product is unbeatable

Experiment

I bought this guitar kit, because I always wanted to build my own guitar. The set is made for begginers and I was quite surprised how easy it was to assemble. I can say the frets are clean and somewhat polished, but need extra work before setting up the action. Pickups are not so great, but you can expect that for the price. I left natural look of the guitar, onlz protected it for wether conditions. overall, I+m satisfied with my purchase, knowing what to expect and giving myself a but of a challange.

Pleasantly surprised.

From other reviews and YouTube builds I was expecting something fairly useable and upgradeable. The end result is much better than my expectstions. Not missing any parts, all pre drilled correctly. Fret finish excellent and neck did not require any adjustment. Keeps tune after initial stringing and stretching. Only two minor issues, the jack plug socket solder connections were bent and would not initially push through the body cavity. Secondly the build order is incorrect. If the neck is mounted at the beginning it is not possible to insert the pickguard at the end. Leave the neck until last. Had expected to have to consider various part upgrades straight away but other than changing the strings I am very happy with the outcome.

Great for the price

The kit itself is super easy to assemble, there's no need to even solder the wires. I shaped the neck's head with a jigsaw easily and covered everything except the fretboard with tung oil, totally happy about how it looks and feels

Absolutely Great Guitar kit!

Really high quality components. I love the neck on this guitar! It plays so nice! The wood is Beautiful, and easy to sand and stain. I easily contoured the body with a palm sander for a personal comfortable fit. I'm a first builder and found the instructions pretty straightforward. I upgraded the pickups and controls,and the guitar sounds Amazing!!! THIS IS NOW MY FAVORITE GUITAR EVER!!!

Used on a 3d printed body

I loved how easy this was to put together. Everything fit really well and the sound is pretty good. I put all of this on a 3d printed body and it works quite well.
