(More customer reviews)The beauty of Leo F's original electric guitar design is that anyone could assemble it's components into a finished electric guitar using hand tools, and basic mechanical skills. That makes kits based on his designs a great idea.
The more time you want to spend learning how to adjust and set up your guitar, the better playing instrument you'll be rewarded with.
I've been playing electric guitar for 30 years, and I did not find anything actually defective in this kit. The pickgaurd was slightly malformed, but it does not affect the playability in the slightest. The pickgaurd and tuners were a little cheap, and I chose to replace them, but they were certainly playable.
The rest of the components were of very high quality, as good or better than anything coming from Fender's Mexico plant. The body has an extra tummy contour on the back, similar to an "S" style guitar, and the bridge is a top loader, instead of Leo's string-thru design.
One area that will require a little more than basic skill and hand tools is shaping the peghead. If you choose to skip this labor intensive, not-for-the-squeamish step, you will be playing your new guitar with a comically large paddle shaped peghead :D
Considering the value for the money, the fun and learning of do-it-yourself, and the quality of the parts, I really wanted to give 5 stars... but the cheap tuners and deformed pickgaurd made it 4 stars.
I never contacted the vendor or Saga for a replacement pickgaurd, so I have no idea what their responsemight have been. I had already chosen to upgrade the pickgaurd in a different color.
