Pros & Cons
Pros
The guitar is an excellent sounding and playing instrument. The tuners are definitely low end, but feel very good. It's a little tricky feeding the wires from the pickups into the chamber where the potentiometers and pick-up switch are.
Kit is plug-and-play. Friend fed my guitar addiction. It now plays like a champ.
I learning a little about painting with nitrocellulose. Plus good wood.
Pay close attention to the neck joint and pick gaurd. The bridge is twangy like a tele should be. The neck is a little bit microphonic, but not squealy at all. They offer a 14 day return and the neck is solid maple.
Cons
The volume control is finicky at best. The electronic components are even worse. Returned product zero electronics functionality.
Highlights
Quality
Upgraded stock pus with seymour duncans and soldered the wires and i am satisfied with the result
Overall i am surprised with the quality of the kit
I didn’t even bother with the stock tuners i just popped some wilkinson tuners on instead and they work great
Parts that didnt come with the kit may not fit or will require some skill to fit
Packaging/appearance
Everything you need is included and if you are in a hurry you can assemble it asis right out of the box
Competitiveness
Belhen makes a wounderful kit that is on amazon with an instructional dvd that i found extremely useful for around 125 bucks
All in all with a few adaptations we ended up with a perfectly intonated playable instrument that has a single coil tone

The only real problem i have is the nut is too far away from the first fret so the finished guitar is impossible to tune properly

Ill be replacing the neck tuners bridge and maybe the body soon hoping to get a more tunable guitar
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However it is worth mentioning that you will likely be replacing some parts on this to make it functional
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
With that included in the price it might not be a terrible plan to think about looking for a guitar at a pawnshop to use as an alternative starting point if youre not married to the building aspect
