    5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024
    I bought the BexGears TL style kit to make a starter guitar for my granddaughters. The price was intriguing, and the quality was secondary. When I opened the box to inspect the components, everything was there. The appropriate screws were in plastic bags attached to their respective accessory. Everything fit properly. The instructions were included and easy to follow. I mocked it up to be sure it all worked before disassembling it to apply clear coat. A simple caution is to be sure that the neck is fastened as snugly as possible. At first I could not adjust the string height properly because the neck was not screwed down as tight as possible. That was my only issue.
    I lightly sanded the back and sides and put many coats of clear enamel on it to get a good smooth finish.
    The set up was fairly easy. I added D’Addario 10-46 strings, and after the usual stretching to get them to stay in tune, I think I found a pretty nice little guitar for the grandkids. The pickups are just fine for our purposes. The neck seems particularly good. The tone and volume controls work well. No intonation issues.
    I never expected to say this, but I would do this again. It is a cheap and simple way to get a fun guitar.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginning Kit
    Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2023
    It is a simple, well-made kit and a value for the price. This is unlike the first Stratocaster kit I built from another vendor. The directions were clear and accurate and available for download from their website. The directions aren't clear on the string trees, but you can find that out easy enough. You could probably build it from the video alone. The wiring does not need soldering, there are plugs. The body and neck were well made and all of the predrilled. holes were aligned for the parts. There are no rough edges on the frets. My pickguard is black even though the directions and pictures show it white. I prefer the black.

    I wanted a kit to paint but it would have looked good natural or stained. I used auto touch-up paint using a Chevy color from a 1958 Bel Air with a Spraymax 2k polyurethane clear coat. I lined the cavities with copper foil tape and used D'Addario self-trimming locking tuners. I used the strings that came with it but will upgrade them to D'Addario NYXL strings. I think it sounds great with the cheap strings. The tone control is so-so. It met the purpose well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars You'll need to work for it, but the potential is there!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024
    I'll go into all the details so you know what you are getting into:

    Everything came god, all the pieces in different little bags with their correspondent screws, making it super easy to organize. The instructions are vague, but the YT content for DIY kits is infinite so nothing bad about that.

    The body was good, needs sanding and don't skip on this. The edges on the top arround the area where the body makes contact with the neck where rough, like they where cut with a saw, but took 1 minute with some 120 to get it smooth and then rounded it with finer sandpaper. Also on the top section I had to sand the borders a bit to get them smooth rounded like the rest of the body. I went with a reliq type finish with some stain and polyurethane finish.

    The neck was incredibly good, smooth and shiny from the get go and no fret edges, if you really want a high end instrument you'll need to do a fret leveling, but out of the box is usable.

    The included strings, and tuners are absolute trash would not even recommend installing them and just buy some strings and cheap locking tuners (I got a set for $20 on Aliexpress), I was expecting this of course so it wasn't a problem for me.

    I never tried the included pickups and knobs cause I installed other ones, that means I was prepared to do some soldering, but if you are not, I advice you to, my factory electronics where messed up, the volume and tone pots where reversed. I know some people like Audio/Taper pots on tone, but linear pots on volume will mess up your control of it. I'll asume this was a mess up in QC, but so much for "solderless" if that's the case.

    It's not adviced, but the string tree's holes are not donne, you'll have to make them yourself. Didn't see this in the description.

    I had fun making it, even took the liberty to use some shotgun shell as the knobs.

    The reason I'm taking one star out of it...the nut is total garbage, I know in all the factory guitars can use a better nut and everything, but in this case the holes are done so poorly that the high strings sound muffled. Seems from the reviews that I was unlucky on this but well, some work to do, some fun to have.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good kit!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
    I just finished assembling and setting it up. It took about an hour to assemble and a couple more hours to do set up. I’m playing it now until I take it apart to paint it when the weather is warmer. Over all, it’s much more than I was expecting for $85. Instructions were very good, the holes were accurate, and I like that they put a light coat of lacquer on it so I can play it until I finish it. The neck alignment to the strings from the predrilled holes was a little off but doesn’t affect playability. It’s holding tune. Top strings are a little dull but I’ll put good ones on after I finish it and check the nut grooves. The bridge saddles didn’t have enough adjustment for setting intonation. I’ve never seen bridge posts that didn’t thread through the saddle. I was able to shorten the bolts with a Dremel cutting wheel to get the intonation set. Third and fifth frets were still a tiny bit off from open strings better after tuning to the fifth fret. Neck didn’t need any adjustment and I liked having connectors between the pickups and controls. I’d buy another kit like this any day.
