Deluxe (Korean) Kits

good work Tony I'm sure you will do the PRS justice and give good feedback to Ads on the quality of the kit.

And you saved Pabs selling his kidney to fund it haha

Any chance of seeing the underside of the 'strat' pickguard? And it looks as if the fingerboard on the 'strat' has some kind of finish on it, or is it just very smooth and it's the light in the photo?

Also any technical details confirming fingerboard radius, scale lengths (at least for the PRS-style), pickup magnet types, etc?

Are the Strat saddles steel or alloy? Likewise the trem block?

Certainly very nice looking potential projects Adam. Gives the GAS a real good tickle... As much as I want a PRS build I think the ST is more in my SWMBO approval range.

If they were to go to open market an extensive list of all the wonderful hot features would certainly help sales. Like Simon said, Things like thickness of the cap, types of PU's, neck radius info and the like will all help on those with the extra cash to put into builds like these...

For a custom order I'd definitely be interested in getting a deluxe kit from Korea. As for a 'standard' deluxe kit I would be happy paying $400-500 for a strat or superstrat as long as the hardware and wood is well worth the money (from what I can see it very well may be) however I wouldn't buy more than two deluxe kits as that's near the $1000 mark and for me that is a lot of money for only two kits, I might even buy just one kit considering the fact that the quality is "pro" level.

Just my 2 cents.

The Strat looks damn good value to me and best pick out of those three in my opinion.

I'm just wondering what makes the Tele kit without hardware more expensive than the Strat kit with hardware, when the Strat looks to have the much nicer ash body of the two.

Take away the Strat's hardware and pickup cost (which I presume should be a lot greater than the Chinese factory kits) and the bare-bones Tele looks very expensive.

Or did the prices get swapped for the samples, as the normal price indicates the Strat is more expensive than the Tele? But even so on the projected normal price, $30 difference for pickups and hardware isn't much, so it doesn't exactly shout 'quality hardware' to me, so it will be very interesting to see the feedback from the kit builders.
