I was very excited to receive my GS-7Z kit. I’ve been looking for a new 7 string for years, but haven’t been able to find something that fits my particular likes at a price within my budget. Building from a kit seemed to be the answer.
So I unpacked the kit and started dry fitting parts together, and right away I noticed that the pre-drilled holes for the bridge and tailpiece are too close together for the hardware provided. After aligning everything with strings on, it appears both lower holes were mis-drilled, about half a hole off. I can repair it by plugging the hole with a dowel and re-drilling them, but I’m annoyed that I have to. I mean, I don’t work in a guitar factory, but if all I had to do is drill two holes a fixed distance apart, I’m sure I could have done better than this.
