Deze bouwpakket is heel leuk om te doen. Het is echter wel nodig om flink wat kennis van zaken op te doen t.a.v. afstellen hals, zadels, elementen, snaarhoogte en dus de intonatie's. Verder toch ook wel wat kennis van de electronica. bij mij waren wat draden vooraf niet goed aangesloten. Door wat ervaring wist ik direkt al dat er iets niet klopte. Verder heb ik deze gitaar gelakt met een lak op waterdragende basis en dus water verdunbaar. Deze blanke lak van cetabever ook nog 10% verdund en aangebracht (met een kwastje) en dat verliep perfekt en hierna polijsten en in de autowas. Verder er dikkere snaren opgezet de 200L Pure Jazz van Black Diamond en het geluid is gewoon voortreffelijk. Ik heb zelf ook Gibsons en Fenders, maar ik ben enorm onder de indruk van het geluid van deze goedkope bouwpakket.
