I've never put a guitar together, so ordered a Tele kit of thomann, decided to just varnish it, three or four coats and a bit of polish later looked good, right let's put it together, took a couple of hours, including coffee breaks, it all went together fairly easy including the electronic stuff, one screw had to be replaced with a slightly bigger one, but other then that no problems, all done I plugged it in, quite a lot of noise, I'll take of the bridge plate and check the earth lead one day, but strangely at full volume noise disappeared, so I'll just play on full volume haha, it don't take much setting up, and it does sound good, I'm very pleased with it and pleased an old git like me can build a playable guitar, if you want a fairly cheap guitar that's fairly easy to build, get one of these!
