I bought this guitar quite a while ago as a quick build, but found myself spending alot longer than I would like to admit on this kit. If you are a beginner at building guitars, I would not reccomend this kit. I found myself having to put hours of extra work into this because of the lack of effort put into this product at the factory. Some holes for screws were missing.

Furthermore, the finish from the factory barely sealed the wood and wad uneven, so I had to sand it off and put my own sealant on it. Finally, the frets were sharp and the fretboard was dry. All of these issues could be fixed with a little bit of time and elbow grease, but overall for this price, I would say you're better off getting the harley benton kit off thomann. Read more
