10 reviews for Solo STK-1L Left Handed DIY Electric Guitar Kit

  1. Les Szakszon (verified buyer) –

    as it is hard to find lefty stuff it was nice to be able to buy this kit.
    as a beginner, it was nice to have it come prewired.
    I recently had surgery but it was still easy to work on.
    best of luck to you guys

  2. Cathie (verified buyer) –

    My husband was very happy with the product and has put it together and playing it. I believe it is slated to be a gift for one of our grandchildren. The delivery was expedient and the product excellent.

  3. psychostudiorecords (verified buyer) –

    Built a “relic” Strat. Put in Tex Mex Pickups, and all new Fender Electronics. Used ALL of the kit’s hardware. SOUNDS AWESOME. Neck is straight, hardware holds up even after the “relic” process. I put an extra $100 bucks in parts & have an incredible axe. Less than $250 bucks= New guitar that sounds like a much more expensive guitar. Set up is key, you must know how to do it….. or have it done for you…….DIG IT!!!

  4. kevin112967 (verified buyer) –

    This is a great guitar kit especially if you’re new to building guitars the neck fit tight in the body and if you set it up properly you will have a great guitar!

  5. paddyocole (verified buyer) –

    I’ve been hot-rodding guitars for a long time: it has been refreshing to start with a blank canvas. These kits are an excellent platform for modification – or build it straight-up. Finish it anyway you like, it’s a very satisfying process.

  6. george.mcnamee61 (verified buyer) –

    My second DIY that I purchased from Solo, had a blast building it. Already I’m planning modifications and looking forward to buying another kit. Friends are asking to build them one, I tell it’s not as hard as you think and I’m steering them to Solo’s website. Great product and great fun.

  7. paul.cummings.montreal (verified buyer) –

    The kit was easy to do, and would recommend for beginners. Everything fit perfectly where it was meant, the wood was very good quality, and the parts pretty decent for a kit guitar. Keep as is or upgrade them later. No issues keeping it tuned, neck stays straight, and the pickups have a really pretty good sound! More lefty kits would be great, so many I’d like to buy but can’t!

  8. billpreston (verified buyer) –

    Nice kit. For those worried about electronics assembly, only three wires needed soldering. The majority of the work will be painting and finish. Everything else can go together in a few hours. Website has instructions for assembly and wiring.

  9. hawkmfg1 (verified buyer) –

    Bought this kit for a customer and was really pleased with the lefty strat kit. The neck needed no work at all, body was nice and clean. Replaced the tuners and pickups and it made a great guitar.

  10. rogerbrassard (verified buyer) –

    The wood is excellent quality, the electronics are what I expected. I had to move a few things but overall I am quite happy. Except the frets, I have 3 hours working on them they were so bad. Who ever cut them they where to long and they would have cut the skin on my hand. Still not 100% but I can play it now.
