Ktaxon DIY Guitar Kit with Mahogany Body, Ebony Fingerboard and Maple Neck, 6 String DIY electric Guitar Kit with Unique Design, Easy Installation & Full Equipment to Build Your Own Guitar (Flame)

I’ve put together a few kits now. This one has become my new favorite guitar to play, and it looks awesome. Partial credit to me for making it look awesome but I can’t get over the quality of the parts in this kit. Super lightweight and sounds incredible plugged in or not. Highly recommend this one. Wiring was plug in so no soldering needed. Props to these guys this is a fantastic kit.

The media could not be loaded. It’s definitely 1000 times better than anything First Act guitars have ever built. If you have mechanical skills then this is a simple project. May have small issues but with carpenters skills it’s nothing to fear. I will definitely be buying more. Great way to supplement any income.

***UPDATE - ADDED ANOTHER STAR for excellent customer service team who reached out for feedback.So now a 4* review.The Flame body:The good: low cost, even with shipping, everything is pre-drilled, pickups aren't all that bad and the quick connect is nice. Neck fit nice and snug in the pocket and the frets didn't need too much work. Body would have been a good candidate for staining.The not so good: neck pocket was too shallow and saddles couldn't be adjust high enough to set action. I had to reroute the neck cavity over ⅛ of an inch. The bridge is really unimpressive and could be heavier duty and a little longer for saddle travel. The tuners are are very low quality and even after stretching the strings, the tuning stability isn't that good.I would buy this kit again and do some modifications like adding a Floyd Rose tremolo, locking nut and upgraded pickups.For the price, it would be worth the needed work and you still have play money for upgrades or whatever else you want.

What a great value and surprisingly good quality. This guitar plays great , was easy to assemble and looks awesome.Highly recommended!

I bought this for the price, praying that the neck would just be straight enough, and the body well executed enough, to be correctable to a high standard of performance. The short version: without buying ALL of the tools necessary for complete set-up (nut files, fret leveling beam, all the fret and fret leveling tools for set-up), wooden shims for the neck/body joint, etc. etc. etc.) I would not have been able to get a good final result.Biggest problems: warped/uneven neck, seating very high on one side (higher on the treble and stock side than the rest of the neck); holes in fretboard; rough and uneven frets (to be expected, but not really apt to be playable with normal (3/32) action height even with warped neck/fretboard issue resolved without totally filing all the frets, total set-up).Biggest plusses: holes in neck/body basically line up well; tuning machine holes even, easy to install tuners; neck situation overall OK once shimming was done; body cleaner than expected, happy to be able to get mahogany at such a low price; no parts missing, all the electronics worked (with the exception of the pickups, which I can't speak to because I never wired them up, just went straight to changing them out).You don't have to be a luthier to get a $700-retail-rung result as far as playability with this kit, but if you don't have all the tools already you will end up paying $700, at least, by the time you're done putting together all the parts and tools needed to get to that result. If you're not "handy" or experienced in putting guitars together, it is probably unrealistic to expect a result better than some of the lesser PRC offerings, so you might as well buy one of those instead if you are trying to get a high-performance result with small investment.I actually am very happy with the price, value, and result. It's just probably a proper public service to detail all this so that unsuspecting people know at least this much, or could, before buying.Best/biggest tip for this kit: if you're thinking you're going to install a top-loaded 6-saddle tail plate, like I was when I bought this, my advice is: don't think that. *Instead, get the brass "compensated" style plate and saddles. I tried the 6-style with brass rectangular saddles, "hammerhead" saddles, and the stock, and none of these were workable with a top-loader mounting. With all of those the string tension being unequal longitudinally made the saddles act like one-legged drunks. One side would always want to ride up with the saddle leaning to one side, and the adjustment screw on the detensioned side would ride up, basically sending the saddle sideways. If you want to run a 6-saddle plate, you're going to have to drill the holes through the body, and string the saddles that way (top-loader won't work without a "hack").

It is a great kit with ebony fretboard and resonant mahogany body. I put a brass mass block on from the get go, and sanded the frets, but stripped the bolts from putting on and taking off the neck. Had to shim the back of the neck pocket. HH are 12N and 11.3 B, and sound very good. The tuners are OK at 16:1 gear ratio. Oil on the FB makes the ebony stand out with the sharktooth inlays done well. Nut fine. 24 jumbo frets. I put on strap locks instead of the fender cheapo ones. It is now a fine guitar with great sustain and tone in all three positions of the switch. The directions were not that good and it required some knowledge and tools. Harder bolts would be nice. Be careful.
