Built a few years ago. I'm getting into guitar maintenance and modification, and this was one of the things I tackled to learn on. Upgraded pickguard, pickups and tuners from the ones included with the kit. Pickups are Texas Alnico set from Guitarfetish, and the tuners are Gotoh style mechanically locking tuners, which work very well for tuning stability. Plays well and sounds good. TruOil finish. Blue stained sides, natural wood with blue in the grain on front and back. Very unique! Selling to put money towards other needed musical tools.
