Overpriced and not worthwhile

First off, this took close to 6 months and me making contact 8 times to get this kit after I placed the order. (Since then I see a disclaimer stated the kit will take 4 month to deliver). Several of the frets do not even go all the way out to the edges of the fretboard and there are at least 4 frets cut uneven. This was drilled for 4 pots and a 3 way switch in the fashion of a Gretsch but they had no suggestions about how to place which pots in which holes. When I asked for some advice, they were not only slow to answer but kept giving me incorrect information. The holes for the tuning machines were misaligned by nearly 1/4". The veneer around the outer edge of the guitar had started to separate from the wood underneath when i opened the kit.
The only reason I gave 2 stars was because I really like the neck profile and it was well packed for shipping. Other than that, this was not a well made kit. This was the 14th guitar I had built from a kit at the time and it was the most expensive by almost 3x as much as any other kit I have purchased and this was the worst. I have built 7 more since then but I will not get another kit from guitar Kit World. The $120 kits off eBay have better workmanship and are less flawed than this one.
