8 reviews for Solo TCK-69 DIY Electric Guitar Kit With Maple Top

  1. Euclide Robichaud (verified buyer) –

    I was surprised by the quality of the kit. The neck was straight and only the fret ends needed a bit of filing. Everything was there and nothing was damaged. Matt was very helpful with the few questions I had. I have to say that the nut was a bit too high and needed some filing. Where I live you will not find a used tele thinline for what I paid. So I encourage anybody who want to buy a Solo kit. I’m thinking of buying another one eventually.

  2. defmise (verified buyer) –

    Great guitar kit! I got my guitar kit and had it finished in about a week. Everything went together great and the neck was straight and also the bridge lined up perfectly with the neck. I have to say this was my first guitar build, but I can see myself doing another in the future and I’ll be buying them here at Solo Music!

  3. jl.riojas25 (verified buyer) –

    Guitar sounds terrific, I’m really glad I bought from Solo Music Guear. No problem with shipping or with the assembly of the guitar. I’m really excited to buy other one.

  4. a.muystra –

    Killer kit. The Wilkinson bridge is a definite plus. Picked it up in store and the shop is amazing!!! Canada’s stewmac! Everything fit together perfectly and it plays great. Just waiting on warmer weather to spray the finish.

  5. gilha57 (verified buyer) –

    Dans l’ensemble je suis satisfait mais j’ai des problème au niveau de l’électro car je ne sais pas ce que j’ai fait mais le pick up de manche ne fonctionne pas seul pourtant au début j’ai bien l’impression d’avoir suivi les instructions. Sa semble très facile pour la personne qui le fait en video mais les fils s’effiloche toujours et sont très dur à rentré dans le trou et ressortir de l’autre coté et je ne comprend pad qu’il faut le sortir de l’autre coté au lieu de tout simplement le souder en place sur les 2 petite plaque. Dernière chose qui m’a vraiment dérangé c’est que je suis au Québec et les instructions n’était qu’en anglais heureusement que je suis bilingue mais il y a des chose que j’aurais mieux compris en français. Est-ce que j’en rachèterais une probablement pas !

  6. John Rodgers (verified buyer) –

    I am very pleased with the quality of the kit for the money. Everything went together easily, and fit and finish is good, especially considering the cost. In the end, I dont think you save much over buying a Squire Affinity, but there is the satisfaction of having “built” your own guitar.
    The only complaints are that the nut was excessively high, and is cheap plastic, but a replacement bone nut is a cheap investment.

  7. Spencer Greene (verified buyer) –

    Great quality kit! It plays like a dream and the customer service is amazing. The neck pickup I received was not working and I called and they immediately ordered a new one for me free or charge. I have bought 3 kits from Solo and am planning on buying more!

  8. Mihail Nita (verified buyer) –

    Great quality kit so far (for the price), assembled the whole guitar, looks amazing in the paint I’ve chosen. On the minus side, the neck required a lot of fret work (a lot!) but bear in mind that this is a cheap kit, expected. Haven’t tested out the pickups, upgraded straight to branded pickups and that required quite a bit of work on pickguard and bridge as the new pickups don’t fit straight out of the box. Would 100% recommend
