Brian Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 The kit's I offer over on the Universal Jems site are now available with Maple finger boards instead of just Rosewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulNeeds Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Oddly enough, Brian, I was just looking at those kits again. Tell me, in the photos the bodies looked part finished? Are they or is my bad eyesight in need of a check again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 The kit's are basically the SAGA kit's when they start out. I cut out the headstock shape and finish off the clearcoat so the customer just ends up with a no-name neck. The body's come already sanded and sealed with a sanding sealer thats tough as nails. I do modify the kit's a little more making sure the part's fit the way they should and also by adding sheilding to the electronic cavity's, every now and then they send out a kit to me thats less than desirable and I have to ship it back so there is no hassle about that either. The kit's themselves have been given a bad rap in other forums because of two things: the first being the strings that come with them. I ship the kit's out with a second set now because the original set's you could tow a truck with and they would still strech out. The second thing would be the tuner's. They are basic and not really made to a quality standard but they are functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I just finished up the tele kit and have to agree on the tuners and the strings. The rest of the kit is really good. The only thing that I would add is to plug every pre-drilled hole and drill them again to make sure they are right. It seems like every hole in the kit was just a little off here and there. Instead of saving me time, they actually held me back a little. Your mileage may vary, but I'm really happy with the end result and the sound of the guitar. I never liked Tele's before I built one. Now, I'm going to build another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
