The quality

Overall I have to say I was impressed with the quality of the kit. I had read on the net lots of people saying the same I didnt really believe them. I am a bit of a perfectionist so I do have a few minor comments:

The three way switch is a bit 'clicky'. Im basing my judgements on my Les Paul so I want the same or better quality at least in components. It is a closed box three way where as my Les Paul is an open switchi think I will buy a new switch and solder it in. Doesnt cost much to change.

The knobs are better than I thought they would be but I still would prefer some round black speed knobs like you would get on some PRS, SG's and Les Paul custom models. It is important s these parts are used often on the guitar and can really improve or ruin its overall appearance.

The machineheads seem ok to me. Im going to wait until it is finished and strung to see how good they are and if they need replacing. Many people on the net have said they replaced them straight away pressuming they are rubbish. I dont want to waste money on good ones if these are ok.

Humbuckers and wiring seem solid and I cant flaw them. Im going to cut off the snap joints and solder it so that i wont ever get a loose connection inside. Dont get me wrong the connectors seem good and are well protected in the guitar but im just being a perfectionist again. I am also going to sheild all the cavities of the guitar with copper tape. This will reduce any buzz being picked up by the pickups from unwanted sourced such as tv's etc. Think this is just a good idea to always do. It cant hurt!

Body-im pleased with it. It does have a ton of sanding sealer on at the mo but I expected that. The top seems really nice. Im quite excited about doing something with that.

Neck and fret board-again spot on. No complaints at all. I was really worried about the quality as the kit was so cheap but it seems good to me.
