Don't go for it...1
My son wanted to have electric guitar. Since he is starting to play, I thought I could get him a entry level. I happned to have Grizzly catalogue and $150 kit looked good. I have been doing woodworking for many years, I didn't see any problem assembling it. With lack of market survery, I ordered one. $15 or so of shipping added on.
Arrived as promised. So far so good, but problem started right after I started to assembling it. After all finishing have been done.
First, all of pre-cut holes to accept electical part are all off from where they are supposed to be. I have to push pick guard (on there all pick-ups, volume knob etc are attached) against to one side very hard so that I could have barely have back up space for screws to go in.
Second, pre-drilled screw holes for neck connection is off too. These hole can not be re-drilled as they are off by half hole. So I have to fill those holes with two part epoxy so that I can make new holes at a correct position.
Well, that's fine... it is a kit. Some adjustment could be needed. This is THE my first of anything that comes with not enough screws too... I cann't believe it...
Third, the thickness of neck where it meets body was too thick.I have to shave off about 1/8"...
And finally, after everything's been done, I started to tune but I can not. As matter of fact, I needed to adjust length of strings to get correct intonation. In the manual, nothing about this at all.
I called their help line. And it is not tall free...
I've got a person to talk. He did not give me any clue how to do it but he was trying to sell their book on how to adjust string length. He also suggested to go to any guitar shop for this and said it is not a complicated process, and it may cost $10 to do it. !#%^@$!@#@
Off the phone, since he said it is not complicated procedure, I searched internet and wound up on a owner's manual of Gibbson electric guitar, where they kindly included how to do intonation. (it was true that it is not that complicated, just two lines of sentence was all I needed to know how to do it...)
My final frustration came bit later,... I was strolling around Target store... where they sell if for $150, same guitar but all assembled, finished, no hassle, no shipping...
