The ST Style with an alder body — the configuration most Strat fans actually want. The ST Style Alder DIY Guitar Kit pairs that legendary, slightly-warmer alder tone with three single coils, the standard five-way switching, and bones that have made history.
Bolt-on neck with frets and dual-action truss rod, predrilled and routed, pre-sanded, three single-coil pickups wired through one volume, two tones, and a five-way switch. Alder is the wood that built most of the records you love — articulate, balanced, and just warm enough to flatter your playing.
Designed and shipped from the USA. Every kit is backed — defective parts replaced free, no return required. Build your own guitar in the configuration most pros pick when they're picking. There's a reason alder has been the default Strat wood for sixty-plus years.

The price was good, and the bones of a good guitar are there. It will definitely take a lot of work to get a good finished result. The body I recieved had a crack that looks like it was filled with epoxy and sanded, but it likely cracked after it was originally shaped, and then was repaired later. Where the crack was pulled together the sweep of the body was not consistent, so it will take a lot of sanding to blend that out. There was also a dent in the side of the body which was likely from a clamp when the crack was pulled together. The crack also was not entirely filled, so I'll still be using some epoxy to build that back up to the surface. Luckily I dont mind doing some extra sanding, and I will be doing a nitro finish on the guitar, so once everything is built up or sanded out nothing will be visible. If I was hoping to do a natural finish this body would not have been acceptable, but I'll be able to make it work for my purposes. Neck feels good, and frets seem alright.

Great product
The Stratocaster style guitar arrived undamaged and all parts included. I like the fact that it's pre-sanded and only needs a final sanding. Can't wait to get it stained and finished.
