Over the years I’ve become aware of Precision Guitar Kits out of Canada and heard good things. With the Faded Flying V’s going for stoopid money now, this kit keeps taunting me. And when I searched it up I was floored to see there was somebody just as loopy as I am:
I’d love to build a surf green V but I can’t really think what good it would do me other than make me smile and feel oh so warm inside.

I’m also a fan of the V. Maybe Albert king and Lonnie Mack had something to do with that I’m not sure but I’d be interested in trying one of these kits myself. Not seafoam green but probably a natural color. Said it’s Korina wood so maybe just clear coat for me but looks like a fun project

Here’s their V: https://www.solomusicgear.com/product/solo-fv-style-diy-guitar-kit-basswood-body/ Click to expand... Thanks Doc! Say you wouldn’t happen to have any pics of those blue guitars you built from Solo kits?
I buy my parts from Solo Music Gear (see link in post #4). I live close enough to them that I go into their retail location. They carry a lot of brand name parts as well as bodies and necks, so you could upgrade their kits with higher end pick-ups and tuners

My mistake Gretsch friends…here’s the link I intended to include in the original post. Check them out. There’s some cool kit there.

Buy the premium kit, Buy quality finishing supplies, buy necessary tools, search out and purchase quality parts, including all control components, buy a quality case, buy strings, perform all the necessary labor, pay to farm out what you can't do yourself...not to forget shipping/brokerage/exchange...I'm sure I've forgotten something...and...

And, in so doing you have probably surpassed the price of the genuine brand named guitar you have been laboriously and expensively trying to copy.
Genuine Gibson Les Pauls are not that expensive...they can be, but you don't necessarily have to buy the most expensive one on the wall.
Even the best Epiphone Les Paul, leaves the best Kit Les Paul for dead, and for a lot less money., not to mention you have a brand name guitar.

And a far as genuine Fender Teles and Strats, you cannot begin to build one for less than you can buy the real thing for.

Click to expand... Last year I thought about building a guitar thinking it would be something to do and I would have a cool guitar custom-made just for me. I eventually realized that what I wanted was a guitar not the work of building one and that it would cost at least the same and would take away time for playing, practicing, progressing. For those who like to build things I think building a guitar would be a highly satisying project.

Click to expand... In essense I would agree with what you say .... except the part about ending up with a guitar that is worth nothing. For reference I have only built one kit guitar that cost about $200 to buy. Spent all the time to pull the fretboard and replace it with birdseye maple, refret etc etc. Could I sell it and recover some cash value for my time? No. But I do like the way it came out and enjoy playing it. That side of the whole process makes the cash value unimportant. To me, that is.

Click to expand... From a cost point of view, you aren't wrong. Some of us enjoy the craft of building an instrument. To each his own... different horses for different courses, etc.
I've long since realized that the choice is, Do you want to build a guitar or do you want to play one? and given my meager skills, playing one always wins. Further, with so many cheap...er...inexpensive guitars on the market these days, putting one with almost no resale value together doesn't make sense financially.
