    I think if a newer version of this kit comes out when restocked it will be better, in reality i would give it 3.5 stars…

    My son is happy with his les paul custom kit now that its all together and working but there was much more little things not quite right compared to the set neck sg kit with maple top i got for myself…

    -The neck had about an 1/16 gap in the neck pocket or either side of the neck,
    -The ground wire to the bridge must have been an after thought, no wire was included for that and the hole not drilled,
    -The electronics were have soldered together but backwards and didnt match the wiring diagram at all….once dismantled all the pieces and soldering, it went together fine,
    -Whoever was supergluing the plastic nut on was having an off day at the factory, the was glue run off and it was crooked and the left some finger skin on the nut lol,
    -The set neck part that goes under the front pickup was too tall foe the pickup to sit in the hole,
    -And the only thing i was really worried on is a crack that wraps around the back of the neck from fret board to fret board at about the 10th or 12th fret….but after stringing up and adding a vibrato tremolo system the neck is still holding and square woohoo,
    The mahogany body was a little extra rough, but thats fine, the palm sander went through a bit more paper for it

    Again, it took more work then should have been required but its now playing

    My favorite guitar from SOLO thus far. I would say 4 pain in the butt guitars is fair for this one, I had to modify the neck to get the neck pickup in and it looked like it was cut for a veneer body. I have had to tear it down 3 times now to upgrade the hardware nuts and parts. I really enjoy SOLOs stuff but the lack of being able to just order it with upgraded parts, even at an extra cost, is frustrating and almost makes me want to put 4 stars.

    IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO ASSEMBLE GUITAR KITS GO TO BRAD ANGOVE YOUTUBE AND WATCH HIS TUTORIALS SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF TRIAL AND ERROR, HE LITERALLY SHOWS YOU 90% OF THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

    SOLO PLEASE ADD UPGRADEABLE KITS TO ALLOW US TO ADD BETTER HARDWARE AND ELECTRONICS, MY WIFE HATES I HAVE 2 BOXES OF EXTRA PARTS FLOATING AROUND BECAUSE I UPGRADE THE STUFF AFTER I GET IT FROM Y’ALL

    This was my first build.It was not set up for a beginner.The first problem I found was they sent a pre soldered wireing harness for a standard 2 pickup sg and this is a 3 pickup sg,which meant I had to de solder it completetly and start from scratch.They send 2 tone and 2volumes,you have to convert 1 tone to a volume,you do this by removing the green thing from the pot.then just re solder up as the wiring diagram shows.This works great.
    The other thing to note is (which I found out when I was doing the finale set up) s there is no slope on the neck.This makes it very hard to set up,it give you very little room for ajusting the the bridge.To fix this by sanding the heal o f the neck till you have a bit of slope before you glue it together.

    Over all in the end you end with a nice nice guitar,you may want to upgrade the pick ups and the tuners.It was fun to put together.I have upgraded hard ware on guitars before and done many set ups

    Overall I like it except that the pre-wired pots, switches, & jack are different then the diagram, it would be better not pre-wired at all then the way it came. Other people experienced this too. It’s very frustrating but I don’t expect any improvement from Solo.
