Guitar kit arrived in good time from ordering. All parts seem to be of reasonable quality and neck is smooth and straight. Have not yet completed the kit as I am French Polishing the body which takes time. Once completed and assembled I will be in a better position to assess neck, bridge and string clearance, but so-far so-good.
I received the guitar kit and found the neck broken at the 22nd fret as you can see in the photo. I emailed BlackBeard repeatedly and they did not respond so am forced to give a 1 star review. The rest of the guitar was ok although the neck had some pretty deep divots in the back. Customer service is very poor. Will not be purchasing from them again
I received the guitar in a timely fashion. It is mostly good but unfortunately the neck was broken at the 22nd fret. I'm not sure if it shipped like this from the factory or was damaged in transit. I have reached out to BlackBeard on multiple occasions but they have not responded. So I can in no way recommend them as a supplier of kit guitars. There are plenty of other options out there and I will be using them from now on as they have proven they do not really care about their customers.
This is a beautiful guitar. Neck was perfect and after assembly and doing the setup it played amazingly well. This is my third kit from BlackBeard and have never had a defective one. Best kits on the market for the money.
Had no issues putting it together and the guitar plays well and feels great. I even switched out the neck pickup for a humbucker fairly easily.
