    Took some time on this one, but with these folks to help you can’t miss. I had a mix-up with the tuners, and was taken care of by Matt the tech who really talks to you without going through 20 minutes of canned teleprompters! Had wiring troubles…Matt got me thru that too. Had tuning problems, again, Matt was spot on. These folks care about their customers and this guitar sounds OK but needs a few adjustments everyday. It now sounds and tunes up great. Not a project for someone with little skills at setting these up, like me! Their stuff is awesome and very quick to assemble with predrilling and wiring diagrams, but if your stuck, help is a call away. Great for a beginner or a pro. The double neck is twice as hard and needs some skill set to set up right.

    I won’t be able to build this kit until it’s warm enough to sand and paint outside, so June+. I am going to do a preliminary review so I don’t forget details later. My first impression is that, of the 3 Solo kits I’ve built (2 Teles, 1 P-Bass, all really good), this is the best for fit and finish -the wood has no knots (my first one had a patched knot), all grain is very straight and centered on the neck, and the necks are dead straight. The neck pockets are both just snug enough that the guitar can be lifted w/o using screws -perfect! Next I did a dry fit, attaching the necks, both bridges, the high and low E tuners on both necks and their corresponding strings. The outboard strings fell equidistant from the fretboard edges, and the action was bang on (low and in the middle of the bridges’ adjustment range), so no neck shimming indicated. I checked that all wiring fits through the holes joining body cavities, and the pickups and switches fit and have enough depth. I’ll be modifying this heavily (each kit I do gets modded more and more), so will try to follow up when it’s done. For anyone scared by the 5 difficulty rating, don’t be -in my opinion you’re just building a Tele kit twice!

    It’s a decent kit, but a lot of small things made this kind of annoying to put together. I finished it using Oxford’s nitro spray cans, which went fine, but in putting the parts together I discovered a few things: firstly, the neck pickups did not fit inside the pickguard. I contacted customer service about this, and they were kind enough to send me another one, however, this one had the same problem. I ended up using a file to get the pickups to fit. Many of the holes for the pickguard did not line up with the holes in the body, and the cutaway for the control plate was also slightly misshapen. One of the bridge pickups also came dead. The wiring is also a little unusual, so I got it rewired to my preferences. The stock wiring, for reference, is a master volume for each neck, with the two toggles selecting pickups for each neck (the switch on the control plate controls the 6-string side). Overall it’s not a bad kit, it just takes some tinkering to get everything situated. I absolutely love it, but I probably should’ve gotten more practice with a more simple kit, but I’m really happy with the end result.
