I have not built one from a kit. I have re-built a couple, but the primary fit and components were all there. I have also completely stripped a couple and repainted and such. It's fun to kind of "make it your own".

Good lucj and post pics of the results.

Looking forward to the pics.

Have never tried making a guitar. I'm not handy enough, nor do I have the right tools, I'd bet. It would be more frustrating than fun for me.
