    Awesome guitar, turned out great, only problem I had was the paint turned out a bit sloppy because I was so anxious to get it together lol, would definitely recommend to anybody wanting to get into building your own guitar. After I got it together the notation was perfect, and played perfect with out any adjustments right from the box! 5 stars

    This guitar turned out great!
    Take your time with the initial sanding and the finish will be perfect. I used Tru Oil for the body and neck. It feels super smooth and looks beauty!
    I did have to shim the neck to get the action perfect, but that was pretty simple.
    I had some high-output pickups from a previous build, so I used those instead of the supplies ones.
    Definitely will build another kit from Solo!

    This kit gets you the classic concorde guitar with fixed bridge and the steel ‘v’ tailpiece, which is actually a simple guitar. My only complaints were with the wiring – the wire itself is very very fine and the absolute bare minimum is supplied. The body is several pieces glued together and while not exactly beautiful, it is well put together. Plan on paint or a dark stain. All the holes and cavities are drilled properly and the neck was really a decent piece of work. I upgraded several items for my taste but really, for the asking price this is a fine kit as it is. My second SOLO kit and I’ll be back for more.

    Wow! This kit turned out great! I upgraded many parts as I always do. The tuners and pickups are Wilkinson. Added a Tusq xl nut and Solo roller bridge as well. Everything fit perfectly! This was my fourth Solo build and definitely gets easier every time. The solo roller bridge by the way, needed extensive grinding on the underside by the post holes to get the string action low enough to be usable. I went with a black neck and body and used gold hardware. Since the metal V string retainer was chrome, I ended up buying a sample of gold car wrap film to make it gold. Worked out perfect. I’ll be back!
