Solo STK-1M DIY Electric Guitar Kit

This was the first guitar kit I have ever bought and I loved the entire assembly process. The stock bridge, tuners, and electronics were obviously very cheap and I ended up replacing them. It wasn't an issue for me personally as I expected them to be lower quality, but I'm sure the stock parts are serviceable for a new player. The real problem I came across was the alignment of the holes in the neck pocket and bridge. A couple of these holes were misaligned and set both the bridge and neck at weird angles. This resulted in the strings being clustered slightly towards the high e sting with extra space where the low e string should be. After intonating I didn't find this too infuriating, but it could possibly be a deal breaker for other players. Neck had several frets sticking out, wasn't flat and had a very thin finish. After I filed the frets, flattened the fretboard and applied a new finish it ended up playing and looking great. For the price point the guitar is pretty dang good but I wouldn't expect anything spectacular. Still a blast to put together!Also the nut was trash

I liked what I received. Going to take some sanding on the body. The neck was smooth, so not much sanding there. The frets, no work to be done on them. I am pleased with this kit.

All that can be expected for the price.Needs work to make it be what youwant it to be.
