- BCBrandon C.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoFun Kit to Build
For anyone who is curious like I was before purchasing, I can confirm this can be built into a top playing instrument. I was truly impressed with the quality of parts provided especially the woods of the body and neck.
With careful finishing and attention to detail this build came out better than I expected. I recommend a full test fit assembly including setup with strings on it before you start finishing the guitar. The owner Connors was very helpful in answering any questions I had along the way.
Very happy to have this build finished, it turned out to be in an outstanding instrument, my first eight string and such a joy to play.

Awesome experience with a great result. I made it a winter project and couldn't be happier. Building a guitar has given me a better appreciation for the instrument. I highly recommend every player try and this was a great way to do it, I learned a lot doing this and it was easier than I expected. The best part is having a really cool new guitar to play and show off.

CGCombine GuitarsThanks for the awesome review and kind words about our customer service! So glad you're loving your guitar! - VVarvaraRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoI'm satisfied! Can recommend!
This is my first guitar kit yet to build, so I can't compare it with other kits. The item quality seems good. The item matches the description 100% The fact that it's an 8-string kit with a long scale makes it out of competition. The item was shipped super fast, on the same day it was ordered. Delivery to Germany took almost two weeks (including customs). The item arrived undamaged. I'm having a great time building the kit and learning about guitar works. The veneer on the top is pretty thin but it seems it was enough for the sanding job:) The seller is super friendly and responsive. He provides consultations and responds to the questions willingly and fast. I'm satisfied! Can recommend
