I’ve put together a few kits now. This one has become my new favorite guitar to play, and it looks awesome. Partial credit to me for making it look awesome but I can’t get over the quality of the parts in this kit. Super lightweight and sounds incredible plugged in or not. Highly recommend this one. Wiring was plug in so no soldering needed. Props to these guys this is a fantastic kit.

What a great value and surprisingly good quality. This guitar plays great , was easy to assemble and looks awesome.Highly recommended!

I bought this kit to try a something different. I was skeptical of the mahogany claim, and for good reason; it's press board, NOT mahogany! Ktaxon clearly knows nothing about hardwoods.If you care about truthful advertising, or real wood guitars, keep looking, and elsewhere. I just assumed it was basswood from the weight. I had no idea they were lying in the description. Had I known it was just press board, I never would have bought it.I initially filled the cutout on the bottom with epoxy, and also used it to finish the whole project, which is a good thing, since it's not solid wood. I hated the upper horn because it extended too far in my opinion, but an easy fix. I'd initially planned to gift it away, and didn't trim it back at first.The person I was to gift it to decide to switch to drums, so I decided to keep it.That's why the pics show the cut on a finished guitar. As soon as the saw blade started to cut, I smelled Elmer's glue and sawdust. Ah... Press board. A far cry from mahogany, but it was obvious by the 15 ounce weight out of the box that it wasn't.The real pathetic part is the bs excuse you get from the seller when called out. They contacted me because of the initial 2.5 stars I mentioned. Let's be honest: this kit doesn't deserve any stars. Nor do the sellers.*About the actual kit and build process*It's extremely easy to put together minus the terribly cut wire routes. The way they have the 24 frets against a body not made for it puts the pickups closer together, but whatever it was $59.99 plus $19.99 to ship. If you don't expect much, you definitely get it.I initially used the hardware and electronics it came with, but once I found out I was keeping it, I swapped it all out as the wiring etc, though effective is complete garbage. The bridge weighed about 3 ounces, the pots were horrible, the wiring looked similar to a dollar store rc car, and the switch was stiff. All in all the trash can had no complaints!The square connectors barely fit the round holes to push through, but not impossible. The pickups did work, but for the love of decent tone, I swapped them out for P90s to fit the ice theme.The neck is a little surprising. I had to file the fret edges, but it's really not bad, considering.Overall I'd give it a .00005 star rating, and I have already suggested the seller clarifies that it is not in fact mahogany, but very lightweight press board. Sadly, they don't care. They called the press board "mahogany colored" wood. And were completely dismissive.Buy as many as you like, just know it's not mahogany, or even decent quality.I've been building and working on guitars for over 20 years, and am amazed this kit has a 3.9 star rating as of 4-11-24. If you want it to be playable, you'll have to upgrade all hardware and electronics, and address the ridiculous fret edges. I currently have 8 coats of epoxy on it, but after discovering the "wood" type, plan that many more at least. If nothing else, it's a cool wall decoration.

I haven't strung it yet. So you know what I don't know yet.The neck didn't fit into the pocket just right. It was VERY close, but had a little up/down wiggle that I fixed with 3 small squares of duct tape. The only part where the screw hole was a bit off on was the tension rod cover on the head of the guitar. The top hole was slightly off.The inlay on the neck looks amazing!The neck's wood grain is perfectly straight, so I won't have to worry about twisting in high humidity. It's made of maple, so it's likely also pretty strong.The head of the guitar has a very nice backward angle and won't require string trees, which is wonderful!The tuners will probably be OK, however they aren't locking and aren't of great quality metal. One has a black spot on it, like the chrome coating wasn't complete. I usually replace the tuners anyway, especially with a bender system.The body wood is fine grain and very nice looking. Of course, it's hard to find a two piece body that has consistent color, but oh well. It's not too bad for staining anyway.One of the pickup casing screws was a little stripped, but it just holds the pickups onto the guitar and isn't a big deal.The back cover for the electronics fit perfectly in the routed slot for it. (Very nice)It truly doesn't feel like there's any wood conditioner or sealer on it at all, so it should be ready for staining straight out of the box, and I'm very happy about that, as the last kit I bought was sealed and that takes a lot off effort to fully sand out.Mine's going to be a nice purple stain that shows the grain well and sealed with Lacquer.I might update this after I get it strung, when I find out what the pickups sound like. I'm not expecting too much, but one never knows. The backing material on the pickups are of pretty bad quality metal.I don't know if the neck is straight or if the frets need leveling, but they are dressed WONERFULLY! No sharp edges and polished very well.Overall, for $65.00 US (with coupon, but now gone up to $85), it's an absolute steal!Oh, and the tuners are one peg and one screw.UPDATE: I strung the guitar-WOW, I was expecting nothing from the pickups, buy they were smooth, clear and sharp with great attack, even with heavy distortion! Looks like I'll be keeping the pickups after all!
