Harley Benton Electric Guitar Kit DC Style

Den var svår att intonera. Om det var så att jag fick en dålig hals eller ej vet jag inte men intonera var i alla fall hopplöst. Jag köpte ett strata-kit förra året och den var hur bra som helst.
Träet var ganska fett så jag hade svårt att få cellulosan att fästa. Lacken åkte inte ner i porerna som den skulle. Det löste jag med att prima med sprutspackel och slipa med 400-papper. Efter det gick det utmärkt att spruta, slipa och polera gitarren.

Ett tips!
Kolla först att alla skruvhål stämmer i plektrumskyddet innan du målar så att du vet om du måste spackla igen något hål som inte stämmer.

The fun part of this kit is putting it together. It was very easy to put together and the instructions were easy to understand. I used the online instructions rather than the ones that came with the kit, although they would do in a pinch.

The disappointing part was the actual quality of the guitar...or perhaps I should say the quality of the routing. On my example the routing for the pickups and neck pocket were not exactly aligned. This resulted in the high E string being closer to the edge of the fretboard than the low E string.

This kit is great for someone who wants to try out putting a guitar together and wants to learn more about how guitars are built. It is a good first step for someone who wants to try and get into guitar building.

To sum up I would say: fun to build but not much of a guitar in then end. If you want a cheap guitar to play look elsewhere.
