DIY Guitar: Part 6 – Complete

So as it turns out, I got really lazy with updates for this…

The guitar has been completed for a number of months now, I just never bothered to update my blog and for that I apologise.

It also looks like I neglected to take any meaningful progress shots while wiring up the guitar, but the below is the best I’ve got

Complete Guitar

Overall it was a fun project while it lasted. To be honest I don’t really think i would purchase one of these kits again, at least not for an instrument that I intended to put any serious play time into. The guitar did function, however as expected the lower quality components don’t exactly yield the same quality sound you would expect from a store bought guitar.
