Don’t buy from this company the kit you get has no instructions and is missing pieces and the guitar neck doesn’t fit at all wasted my time putting it together and soldering and half the parts are missing or broken just buy a different brand vibeworks is trash

This was my first kit build. I've disassembled and upgrade a few guitars but never painted one. I decided when building this that I wanted to upgrade parts from the start. In the end, the pickguard, body, and neck are all that remains of the original kit. A few things I learned along the way; even though it's obviously a Jazzmaster inspired guitar, it's not exactly the same. I had ordered a white pickguard and it was quite different. I could have modified it but I actually ended up preferring the one that came with the kit.Modifications made:- I used a router to open up the control cavity to make way for larger pots and switch.- I added a tele style output jack because I used the third hole for a second tone knob.- I changed the tremelo plate to a Fender with locking switch. This needed me to enlarge the cavity and drill new mounting holes.- I changed the bridge to a Jazzmaster bridge. The kit came predrilled for a tune-o-matic style bridge. The holes were a bit larger than the Jazzmaster style. I plugged the holes with dowels and drilled new ones.- I put Oripure p90 pickups in it.- I chaged the nut with a bone nut.- Replaced the tuners with 2-pin Fender staggard locking tuners. I had to drill the holes for the pins.- My son wanted to make up a logo for it so we made a waterslide sticker for it- I followed the same procedure and used the same products as the StewMac painting videos. (2 coats of Colortone vinyl sealer, 3 coats of Sonic Blue nitrocillulose, and 15 coats of Colortone Clear Gloss nitrocellulose. Sanded to 5000 grit then polished with a DA polisher using Colortone polishing compounds)Other than having to open up the cavities for the larger parts, the most challenging part was the finish. I kept burning thru the clear and color when trying to final sand/polish. You have to let the laquer cure for atleast two weeks so it's not a fast process. The first time IU polished it, you could still see quite a few scratches in it. I bought an HVLP gun and will be trying to learn that for the next guitar. I may eventually dissasemble this one and try re-doing the finish but for now, I'm happy with it and is sounds/plays great!It might seem strange that I rate this 5-stars while changing so much but remember this is a kit. I made it personal to me and the bones of this kit were great. I know I could have purchased a finished guitar for less but I really enjoyed the process. It was easy to work on and came with all the parts needed to build it without upgrades. I am going to build a Bass next and I will buy from this same company.
