DIY Electric Guitar Kit with Poplar Body & Canadian Hard Maple Neck, Build Your Own Guitar Kit, DIY Electric Guitars with Techwood Fretboard, ST Style, 6 Strings, SSS Pickups, Natural

Kit went together well. I didn’t use any of the hardware and upgraded all that. Guyker locking tuners and tremolo. Musiclily preloaded pick guard (sounds good but will probably replace now that guitar is worthy enough for the cost of better pickups. Used blue and black leather dye and cleared it with 2 cans of 2k clear gloss. Dying the mahogany blue was a bit of a chore but finally got it where I wanted it. Plays well and stays in tune just as good or better than a few way more expensive guitars. Frets were not polished at all but after polishing and adjusting the neck I was able to get it set up with a low action. The experience was worth the cost and I ended up with a solid guitar. The only thing was the neck radius is 12” and I was hoping for a 9.5” more like a Strat but it worked out ok for me because it is the same radius as my Les Paul so going between the two feels natural.

Body is lacquer sealed, that has its plus or minuses. Problem if one needs to do an oil based finish. Fine for a painted one.

Outstanding kit. The fit was perfect and the electronics work well. Great little package for an awesome price. Looking forward to building my next one.

I have built many guitars and basses over the last 25 years. This was bought as a project for no reason other than something to do, and I had pretty low expectations as some of these DIY kits require quite a few hours of work in order to make parts fit and finish well.I am pleasantly surprised with this one however.The fret work is impeccable and straight, with well finished edges. The body looks great and all pre-cut holes are aligned perfectly. All the hardware looks good, potentiometers have smooth movement and I was impressed with the quick connects on the electronics.Overall this appears to be an excellent product and will make for a very quick build! Obviously the sound of the pickups is very subjective, but even if I swap the factory supplied ones with something better, it will be a minor upgrade in terms of a build.I would definitely recommend this brand particularly if you've never done a build before as it won't get any easier than this. There was even a large book style instruction manual with detailed, color photos for step by step guidance.

I love the one piece mahogany body, arrived sanded and sealed, ready for finishing. Bridge included was fine but I upgraded to a modern 6-saddle bridge for easier setup. Electronics were easy to install, barely needed the manual. Upgraded strings and I replaced the string tree with a "triple-tree" but two are included.The body and included hardware are a great value. The neck is straight, smooth and fits perfectly. Pickups sound fine but I'm sure any upgrades will take this build to the next level. It has the Tele tone and it can only get better from there.
