Good base kit to start with
Everything went together wonderfully and it turned out excellent. I had a ton of fun working on this project. Out of the box: The body was in great condition as was the neck. Both required a bit of sanding (and the neck pocket required lowering 1/8" because the fret board sat too high for the saddles to raise the strings off the fret board) but it came together nicely and all holes and routed cavities were in the right place, and quite clean. Mods: I made a custom leather pick guard to go with my choice of a thin nitro tobacco burst finish and I'm happy with the mojo going on :) I also swapped out the tuners, pickups, and bridge/saddles (what came with the kit is workable and will be used in other projects or just reside in the parts bin for future) and went with a GraphTech nut. Aside from these mods the guitar is all from the kit (neck, body, pots/switch, etc.) and I'm happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to my next build!

Thanks for the detailed review, Mark. Great to hear the kit came together well and that you enjoyed the build process. We appreciate you pointing out the small adjustments needed during setup. That kind of feedback is useful for other builders and helps us keep improving. Your custom mods sound excellent, especially the leather pickguard and finish choice. It’s always good to see builders make each project their own. Looking forward to supporting your next build.
