“Best strat kit on the market period!! This is my second kit within a few months and i must say im very impressed with Guitarkitworld. They have the best guitar kits hands down! The flamed top is pretty nice with good figuring. The ash body is nice as well with a black binding around the top. The skunk stripe neck is amazing with great fretwork with only minimal work needed. I am gonna buy another kit from these guys. If you were looking into a great strat kit look no further... this is the one.” ~ Eric F.

Bill Arico does not play bass, but he built his gigging daughter one that finally stopped diving, on an ash kit with a hand-rubbed oil finish. Here are the ultralight tuners that fixed the balance, the three parts that did not drop straight in, and what you can copy.
Finishing is the one guitar-building step you cannot undo. So Steve Madden practiced on six plywood bodies first, then gave his quilted maple kit five thin coats of Tru-Oil. Here is his method, and how he fixed the binding when it turned yellow.
Doug DeLuca and his sixteen year old son turned a bare quilted maple top into a deep blue burst, and the figure still reads through the darkest part of the rim. Here is the dye versus pigment decision that made it work, why the edges are the darkest part of the guitar, and what you can copy on your own figured top.
