Guitar looks cool, weird scratchplate
Guitar looks cool, but the scratchplate, (with the guitar having a 5 way pickup selector instead of the actual jaguars pickup selectors) needs to be custom made to be replaced, this of course is a pain in the butt

Great job
I received it faster than I thought it would take. I live in the States and it was delivered to me in less than 2 weeks. Great Job. The kit is awesome. The neck joint is tight and should be fun putting the bass together.

Great service
Great service, really helpful.
I sent them an email explaining what I wanted and got a reply very quickly. They also helped with some problems with my account and fixed it in no time.
I bought a guitar kit. The packaging was perfect. The product feels great. They included a document with instructions/guidelines on almost every detail (wiring, painting, setup...). Can't wait to start working on it!
Very recommendable!
