  1. Robert Kelly

    The foundation of this kit is awesome. The wood is good, the frets are already almost ready to use, the neck is great. The electronics are functional. I have had problems though. The string set it comes with is worthless, throw it out. Next, replace the tuners up front with quality staggered, inline, tuners (Left and right for the 12 string) and right for the 6. The tuners are not workable. The grind tight, then suddenly loose as you wind, and they seem to not turn the post much, then suddenly do a lot of post turning. Next, the 12-string bridge should be replaced with a quality bridge. The bridge that comes with it, although barely functional, will not intonate very easily. The 6-string bridge has been functional for me. With regard to the truss rods, they seem fine, though they dont seem as smooth as I’m used to. Lastly, the electronics are functional, but I replaced the pot with a switch for the choice of 12 or 6 string necks. I also had to ignore the wiring diagram, instead run the red into the switch (or tone pot middle), then run each side to either set of pickups. The pickups themselves have poor adjustment and i had to get a separte set of screws (longer) to allow adjustment of the pickup height. Next, be aware, all 3 pickups are on for the 12 string when the 12 string is selected, unless you rewire. Lastly, the jack does not properly fit the jack hole, which I was able to remedy by turning it diagonal a bit. You may wish to drill into the hole to make room, otherwise the jack will be pushed back out of contact as soon as you let go of the jack. Its a fun project, but you can tell it was done on the cheap for much of the product. Nonetheless, it will teach you a lot about it, and give you an experience you will remember.
