Review: Great Kit for the Money Perfect for Budding Builders - OK, so I'm one of the people who received a kit with no manual, but I can't ding it. There are plenty of videos of people building these online. For the money, this kit is extremely valuable for just the body and the neck. I have not assembled it yet because I have other custom parts coming such as a new loaded pickguard with AlincoV Humbuckers, Locking Tuners, a new Tremolo System and new strings. I have, however checked it out thoroughly. The neck is straight, and my fret rocker did not detect any fret issues to speak of. The neck has a really nice feel to it and fits snugly into the neck pocket on the body. The body is solid and will look good either as-is or stained and oiled or painted. I can't speak to the electronics, Tuners, or Tremolo System since I won't be using the ones supplied. You do get everything you need to build a fully working strat for a beginner, but I invested in upgrades out of the gate. I fully expect this to be a nice, playable strat from everything I have seen. The fret work is really good out of the box, but I will crown, polish and round any rough edges, which are really not bad at all as is. It comes with plenty of copper tape for shielding to help reduce noise level or interference. I've messed around with guitars for years, but I am a beginner builder and I am looking forward to working on this to make a nice quality budget player.
Review: Good quality. Better than the price. some issues but not bad. - Nice kit, fun to put together. easy to piece together. My only issue is that I had to buy neck shims and shim the neck to get the action to be playable. After a little tinkering I was able to get it. plays nice. The tuning pegs are kinda cheap so you may wanna buy new ones. they stay in tune, but there is issue with the feel quality. nice quality wood. pretty and feels good. I plan to go over it with a super high grit sand paper and a finish oil.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Kit for the Money Perfect for Budding Builders

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just received, so far 5 stars update- it works
*by A***S on October 25, 2025*

Just received it. This kit is very well done. About all you have to do is sand it, finish the wood and assemble the pieces. There is an assembly booklet. The steps are very easy. I checked the pick guard and neck for fit - good. Checked the jack for fit -- had to rotate the connector and bend a lug. The neck and body are smooth. I will sand the neck and body with 400 then 800 grit. I don't plan on changing the shape of the head, I think it looks fine. There is a Fender Stratocaster template if you want to change it. The neck will be coated with Tung Oil or Gun Stock Oil. Not sure about the fret board protection. The body will be stained a transparent blue with a solid blue, same tint, on the side and back. I may use a tiny bit of black stain around the front and sides, rubbing most off, but not sure yet. The body is roasted pine. The grain on mine is very nice, not super bold. The back has more bold grain but that is fine. Very satisfied so far. Will report back when the build is complete. Update: it is working. I don't believe the instruction booklet shows how to add the copper shielding. I lined the voids where the pickup goes. It has conducting adhesive. I used 9 coats of Tru Oil on the neck and fret board. Very thin layered. Looks and feels great. I applied two coats of Howard Feed-N-Wax to the neck and body. I used a water based blue stain, putting it on so it streaked. It shows the grain through under the streaks. Looks unique. It sounds good to me. Setup: the nut was very high. Fret the 3rd it should be 0.2mm at the 2nd - was way over, like 1mm. I filed it with cheap $7 round nut files - get a $25 file set as you cannot hold on to the small round files. The top needs to be filed so the strings are 1/3 in the slot (verify). It needs to be angled deeper at the head end. The neck truss bar may need adjusting to stop fret buzz. Don't adjust without string tension. Be sure the bridge saddles aren't maxed in either direction - it is a 25.5 inch guitar, inside nut edge to the contact point on the saddle. From there, the saddle needs adjusting for intonation when fretting at the 12th fret - same note as open, just higher frequency. Watch YouTube videos before filing the nut! The nut can be replaced with a bone nut but if the height is wrong, it will have to be filed down or it will hurt to play, particularly the first couple frets.
