I'd have been happy to buy a Korean Strat kit at that price, though if they were going to be offered by PBG I'd liked to have seen photos of each available kit as I'd like to know what the body grain was like on the guitar before I'd bought it. That might not be that easy on the main PBG site, though probably possible via the eBay shop.
I've got to say having gotten the kit and had a quick look, I am quite impressed, and I think you have a valid point Simon.Originally Posted by Simon Barden
The grain structure of the body and the grain pattern on the Fretboard are both wonderful to look at on this. (Sorry @Chrissyinbkk, its actually really nice!!) You would want to be able to look at a catalogue/Web Gallery and pick these out.
I'm very tempted to give it a light sand and some invisible filler on the couple of small pull outs in the horns, then just clear coat it. Its very nice, and comparing it to the kit bodies i've had from PBG this one is a cut above.
Not saying the PBG product is not good, for the price point, its a very good base to start from, but this one definitely deserves the "Deluxe" Tag.
I've done an unboxing video, but i've also realised i've no way of uploading that. so i will have to go old school and take some pics and write a run down on it.
