Hi all. Just looking into purchasing and building an ES-1. ;)
It's a really popular kit. Hope it goes as well for you as it did for this member ;-)

Hi and welcome.
Note that the ES-1 kit can have issues with too flat a neck angle, making it impossible to get a good action. Some seem OK, but both of the ones I built suffered from it.
One I resolved using a different bridge (a Göldo Lowrider), whilst the other I had to file away the bottom of the kit bridge and cut much deeper slots in the saddles.
Some can suffer from a misplaced centre block so the stop tailpiece post holes are partly air. This is a return for another kit issue. They shouldn’t go out like this but they do.
Apart from that, it’s a nice kit
Hey there. It's awesome that you're considering getting an ES-1. I've had mine for a few months now, and I'm loving the experience. The build process was pretty straightforward, and I found it to be a really enjoyable project. Plus, once it's up and running, the performance is pretty impressive for its price point. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the process or anything else related to the ES-1! Good luck!Quote:

Jump on it nothing more satisfying then building your own guitar and you can do it for sure, take your time research as much as possible and plan your moves and it will come out great!!Quote:

Get a chord book and learn scales. Dont underestimate yourself.
Practice as much as possible.
