I have built several electric guitars, and followed several builds on YouTube. This is the most daunting, but also the most exciting, I have taken on, being built as close as possible to a replica of a real Gibson ES335 and I am looking forward to taking my time to build it properly, but I have another project to finish first. The figuring of the wood on the top face is striking, and would be a crying shame to paint over with a solid coat of lacquer. The binding on neck and body was a much appreciated bonus, not described in the blurb. The choice of other woods are appropriate. The instruction sheet was the most disappointing part, but there are plenty of open resources available. The componentry may not be of the best, but it's my choice if I wish to substitute. Now how about a 12 string version?Read full review

Well my title says it all, really. Purchased as a Christmas present for my Father this has the potential to be a really high quality guitar- obviously whether it fulfills that potential is down to the end builder- but materials used are top notch as is the craftsmanship in assembling the prebuilt sections. Its not cheap,but the final finished guitar will be of a very high caliber that would cost way more to buy as a working instrument. Highly recommended for those who have skill enough to do this superb kit justice.
