£60, all predrilled - all the parts and electronics, plus £10 delivery. Arrived yesterday, never done this before, am I crazy?????
Looks a bit like an airfix kit :-) The neck looks pretty good, bit of backbow and some fret rocking, nothing too much. I think I've binged watch most of the luther youtube videos, so am confident (famous last words). What could possibly go wrong????? I have some deep orange woodstain at the ready and some luther tools from Amazon, and ready to rock! Pictures and sounds may following....... it depends

Looking forward to see how your build goes - always fancied building a kit guitar myself. Make sure you post some photos !

Bruno, you're a braver man than me,  :). I'm sure it will turn out great. I look forward to seeing and hearing your finished beauty!

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

Very cool, bruno - building a guitar from a kit has been on my bucket list for a while, except I just don't seem to have the time these days.

I am interested in following your progress, though!
