Still in the process of building the kit ... have not played it yet. First time CGB builder. Kit was well packaged with all components/screws in separate zip locks. Even with no written instructions, it is easy to figure out how it should go together ... just watch a few videos. The box is pre-drilled or has starter holes for all screws and even the pickup wires are all pre-soldered. Only downside I see is that to open the box, one would have to remove the strings, unbolt the neck and remove the 2 top screws from the jack plate ... but maybe that is standard for boxes of this type. I smoke various Drew Estate ACID cigars so this particular kit jumped out at me.
