speshul91 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 My other half bought me a flying v kit from them a couple of years ago, the neck pocket is slightly too big and i mean very slightly, a strip of 1mm veneer slotted down one side cured that, apart from that it was decent quality for the price, the electrics never made it in though, i bought better ones straight away.

Rikki_Sixx Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'd love to try a DIY kit (or just buy a ton of parts) sometime. I'm not too concerned about the woodworking aspect of it as most of the work is done (to varying degrees of QC!), but it's the electronics I'd be concerned about. I haven't used a soldering iron since high school, and I've forgotten what little I ever learned about circuitry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, the only truly "DIY" bit on my old kit was finishing the wood. (Until I upgraded the guts a few years later, anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Just finished one today, the body and neck are well made, and fit together nicely, the electronics are okay. Pickup sounds fine but the pots are cheap and a bit crackly. Tuners, bridge and and chrome parts are all cheap but for the price they do the job. Think the whole thing cost £80 including paint, so could of of just got a harley benton but i wouldnt of got to chose the colour or had the fun of building it!
