  1. fred dunda (verified buyer) –

    Love it. Had to learn a lot about getting the kind of finish I wanted and tuning at the nut along with the rest of the set up but it sounds great and looks great too. Enjoy.

  2. Nicolas Lacaille (verified buyer) –

    I never usually review stuff but i really love solo. I ordered three kits from them and always a great product, simple and really fast delivery and the staff is amazing. Easy to begin with and learn with it. Just amazing!

  3. donnie (verified buyer) –

    I am new to guitar building and I was disappointed with my first 2 builds — both products from other companies. Solo seemed to have the best reputation of all the guitar kit suppliers so I purposely chose a Telecaster-style guitar from the builder with the best reputation — and I have not been disappointed. I found every aspect of the build pleasant and satisfying — the product was easy to work with in sanding and finishing, quick and straightforward to assemble and the wiring diagram was finally one that was accurate. I am proud to hang this guitar on my wall (along with 40+ others in my collection).I have since bought a second guitar kit from Solo which I have been working on today and hope to have it complete tomorrow. I plan to purchase more kits from Solo plus some of their luthier tools. Also I am a Canadian who lives in Colorado so with quality Solo products from Canada helps me feel proud to be Canadian.

  4. Edward Husk (verified buyer) –

    I am very pleased with the quality of my kit guitar. The neck was perfect. I gave it a light sand by hand with 1000 grit and used tru oil gun finish. Then some 000 steel wool. Oh my what a great feel. Fit and finish is way above the price. I stained mine because the wood was definitely a looker. I will buy again.
