Review: This is a surprisingly nice kit for the price. I ordered the variation with the white pickguard even though I thought the black pickguard looked better because the illustration for the black pickguard kit showed a standard three saddle tele bridge. The white pickguard showed a 6 saddle bridge. So I waited to see which would be in the box when it came but it was exactly as illustrated. I had already planned to spend a few more bucks on an upgrade bridge but now I don't have to. I haven't assembled the kit yet but it looks like everything lines up very nicely. The neck fits snug but not too snug in the pocket. Even the holes for the pick guards seem to be lined up correctly on a casual observation. I've had more than one kit experience where that wasn't the case. The synthetic ebony fingerboard is glossy and hard. I think I'm going to find it to be an enjoyable surface to play on. The only reason I went four stars instead of five is because the body was surprisingly heavy to me. Okoume it's supposed to be a fairly light wood, so the fact that it feels heavy and dense gives me at least a little bit of concern that it might not be fully dry. Of course if there's any shrinking or cracking I won't know that for at least a year so I didn't want to hold up the review for that. Edit: as you can see from the picture I added this is now finished. I am even more impressed now than I was initially and increased my review from 4 to 5 stars. The okoume wood is quite beautiful, and this kit had none of the nightmare stories I hear about from other kits. All of the holes were properly aligned. All of the screws survived their initial tightening just fine. The hardware, while obviously generic as you would expect on such an inexpensive kit, is actually not bad. The guitar sounds good. Better than I expected to be perfectly honest. After I live with it for a while I may decide to upgrade things but honestly I can live with this just as it is. I expected to pick ups to be thin and ratty but they're not. My only complaint in the whole thing is that the bridge does not have enough range of adjustment for the intonation. It would be nice if they added a second shorter set of saddle screws but I was able to just get it intonated. If I hadn't been able to I could have just got out the table vice and the hacksaw and cut a centimeter off the screw. I also needed to dress the ends of the frets, but I've never bought a sub $200 guitar that was already assembled that didn't need the answer of the frets dressed, so again that to me is perfectly par for the price point. Very very happy with the purchase and very pleased with the way it turned out.
Review: Bought this when it was $109 w/free shipping. Might buy again at $109, but probably not at $139, as it was recently listed. It was fun to put together and I learned a lot. Had to study up on how to paint/finish it, and enjoyed that. Came out quite nice I think. I would get the flying v version if it were cheaper and not $29.99 to ship. Pros: Neck was great. No sharp frets at all, edges of fretboard were flawless, nice satin finish, nice headstock. Frets were a little gritty, but not a big deal, it played itself out. Body was nicely done, cut, routed, etc. Nice three-ply pickguard. Easy to assemble. Instructions provided but almost not needed. Tuners are fine, no complaints there and no problems tuning or staying in tune. Cons: Nut is WAY too high, making open chords ridiculously out of tune. This would be an easy fix for some, but not for me, as I don't know how to file down a nut and would't have the tools even if I did. Tone control was non-functional. I upgraded the entire control plate, but had to enlarge the cavity to make it fit. High e-string tends to slip off fretboard at first two frets, but this began only after I upgraded the bridge and changed strings, it was not happening with the original bridge (maybe someone who knows more than me can offer some insight to this). Pre-drilled holes for neck joint were slightly out of square but it put together okay regardless. Pre-drilled holes for bridge were slightly angled, so bridge is not quite parallel to neck. Screws for jack plate are threatening to fall out but haven't yet. Biggest problem is my own inexperience with setting action/intonation. I raised the action and adjusted truss road to eliminate fret buzz, but action is too high now. I should have leveled the frets before assembling, but I didn't know any better at the time. All in all, if I can get the action down and eliminate the fret buzz, I'll be happy. However, if I had to do it all over, I think I'd buy my own parts and not go with a kit. Final note, if you want a good-looking finish, you can expect to spend at least another $50 or more.

*by B***R on 21 July 2023*

It is a simple, well-made kit and a value for the price. This is unlike the first Stratocaster kit I built from another vendor. The directions were clear and accurate and available for download from their website. The directions aren't clear on the string trees, but you can find that out easy enough. You could probably build it from the video alone. The wiring does not need soldering, there are plugs. The body and neck were well made and all of the predrilled. holes were aligned for the parts. There are no rough edges on the frets. My pickguard is black even though the directions and pictures show it white. I prefer the black. I wanted a kit to paint but it would have looked good natural or stained. I used auto touch-up paint using a Chevy color from a 1958 Bel Air with a Spraymax 2k polyurethane clear coat. I lined the cavities with copper foil tape and used D'Addario self-trimming locking tuners. I used the strings that came with it but will upgrade them to D'Addario NYXL strings. I think it sounds great with the cheap strings. The tone control is so-so. It met the purpose well.
