The Kit
My first impression of the kit is that it is better than what I had expected. It comes well packaged and includes everything needed to make the guitar. The body and neck are completely sealed so I could have put the thing together immediately and started playing. Don't think I wasn't tempted.
Looking closely there were small gaps in the 3-piece wood body, some filled, some not. The flamed maple top has some nice character but at about 1/16" thick it's no more than a veneer. Most of the hardware looks solid though I'll only really know the quality once I'm able to assemble it all and play it.
