Nice tele kit. Very useful parts. Everything was there to complete the guitar.
Most of the kit I really liked. The wood they used was nice when simple stain was used. All the components were nicely bagged, pretty straight forward put to together. After a few tweaks on the neck and bridge sections, the intonation came right in. I was able to play any chord past the 13th fret, in tune! On the sound check, I used my Boss GT-1 "Guitar Effects Processor" and the sounds were great! Pickups were great for me. They are keepers.Ok now, the tough part. You`ll need a few guitar files to adjust your head nut. There is not any "setup" work done on the guitar, so it`s up to you to learn about this. I found many videos that helped me along. A lot of things matter how to setup, many things would be your personal choices.There are some nice guitar setup tool kits here on amazon, I got one myself from here. When I get caught up I`ll send some pics. So far, I play the guitar a few times a day, fun to practice on since the semi hollow body is just loud enough I can grab it anytime and not ruin the spouses TV show. LOL!I would recommend to any interested in playing guitar for sure!!

Awesome kit and playability is dang near perfect
The media could not be loaded. Awesome kit! Sounds amazing and plays pretty good. Made it into a Nashville tele and made it sound awesome! Don’t mind my off time playing it’s been a bit since I’ve played the song 😂

Looks like it'll be a winner
I've just now started the woodworking part of the project but....No problems with the packaging and all the parts were included except for most of the screws. I've contacted the seller and expect them to send me the screws. The body looks great and is sanded very smooth. A couple applications of grain filler, and it'll be ready to stain and finish. The neck is straight, and the frets are pretty good - I also bought a fret rocker; a couple of the frets around 15 and 17 were a little high, but that's an easy fix. The fret ends are smooth until the 12th fret where the edges start to get rough. Another easy fix - not an issue. Nice slim neck with some kind of matte finish on it. I won't be changing that; it's very comfortable.The bridge pickup measures 5.5 k Ohms. The neck pickup measures 6.48 k Ohms. The wiring is almost all plugs - very little soldering needed.The picture in the listing shows a bridge with three double saddles (like a Tele) but the one in the kit has six Tele style saddles, so much better intonation. A nice upgrade.Now applying wood filler before staining and (I hope) applying a thick gloss finish.So far, it really does look like a winner!Body is done and it looks great. No screws yet, so I'm at am impasse for now.UPDATES:1. The screw are on the way. Seller was fast in turning my complaint behind. Nice work!2. Forgot to mention that the pips are ceramic. We'll see if their acceptable.

Great Telecaster Kit
Great Kit. Includes everything needed to put together a nice guitar. It even came with strings and a headstock string guide. I was pleasantly surprised that the bridge had six intonation adjustment screws instead of the three screw adjustment shown in the product pictures. Everything fit well and the body was smooth and ready to apply a finish.

Best DIY kit I've ever bought.
Straight out of the box, this is exactly what I was wanting. All the parts were there, not damage to any individual piece, the neck and headstock came so well finished that it really doesn't need much work. Body comes unfinished, all holes drilled, ready to be sanded and painted. By far the best quality DIY kit I've ever bought, and I buy these pretty regularly to build and sell for fun.

Christmas 2022
I gave this to my Uncle for our family's secret Santa 2022. I was so apprehensive about purchasing a DIY guitar on Amazon, but I read the reviews and found that BexGears comes highly recommended. I am so pleased how it turned out! My Uncle loves it. Great price and great product! This is a photo of it finished. He chose to keep the finish with the natural wood. I highly recommend BexGears and would purchase again.

You don’t get what you pay for
This was my first DIY guitar kit, and it was a fun process until it came to the hardware. The guitar looks beautiful, but the bottom pickup doesn’t work at all and the guitar does not fret correctly, which makes it sound out of tune all the time.I did the work to make it look pretty, but the electronic components are terrible. It’s a total loss on my part. I have a guitar that doesn’t function properly on any level.
