Hi , I'm Brandon Panther. I've been around guitars for 20 years. If you want a guitar kit assembled by someone that has built them before, Then I can build your guitar. Yes you can buy these diy kits and build the guitar yourself. The main problem is that the directions are incomplete. I am also an Automotive Mechanic. I take pride in my work. I also understand that all guitar players are particular about strings, pick ups and tuning.
