The quality of the kit is decent, neck was about 5mm to big to fit into body had to sand down quite a bit to get it to fit in, nut seems to be filed to deep so I am going to replace it in near future, 3way switch is faulty working on 2 positions but the third registers as center, the bridge and tail piece post holes on my kit was drilled to big even after thick layers of clear coat bushings have nothing to hold onto and can fall out without any resistance had to fix this, all in all not bad kit but MOST DEFINITELY NOT FOR BEGINNERS especially with getting the oversized neck to fit and more importantly getting it to align correctly. Not sure if issues i had was an isolated incident or if quality control is not up to par. At end of the day I build my own guitar and I'm happy with how it turned out
Reall easy to build
After being impressed with the quality of the Tele kit, I was disappointed by this one unfortunately. Screws missing for the input jack plate, the neck was nowhere near being able to fit the body so some extensive chiselling was required and the wiring diagram is a nightmare. Had to start completely from scratch with the electronics. A shame considering my first experience was so positive.
Few woodfiller spots show up with finish but not setious. Lovely flame maple top.
Les Paul set in neck kit better than expected. Prompt delivery - I'll definitely be back. It would be great if Blackbeard's Den sold mother of Pearl inlay sheets - want to do a headstock inlay.
