Les Paul Guitar Kit Review
Part 2 | Made in China.
So… This is the continuing saga of The eBay DIY unfinished Set Neck LP Guitar Kit Review that i just did a little while back (August 10, 2011) here…
When the supplier of this kit was notified that it had been reviewed and received a less than stellar report on the quality of their product, well, lets just say they went kind of Ape $H!T … I guess the best way to explain is simply to publish the email exchange between them and me. It was necessary for me to put these in order because the never responded to my emails or replies directly but sent a new message each time via my form mailer… So here it is:
Original Message that started the conversation about the guitar kit:

No… This is not a “High Quality Unfinished electric guitar body with neck” this is very poor quality… Basically you sent me a pile of wood pieced together in the shape of a guitar.

Hello,
Is this the same Music.Song? This would be easier if you sent replies to my emails rather than a new message every time.
I am not interested in sending this kit back for a refund,, it isn’t worth my time.
The review posted here stands… That is the purpose of this review… An honest assessment of the quality a buyer can expect when purchasing your guitar kit off of eBay.
By the way the listing said this also included tuning pegs and strings and they were not sent.
Dear friend
I’m very sorry!!!
This really is our fault!!!We forget to put the pegs and stringt in the!!!
My friend! If you agree and we will send them to you?by EMS!!! okay?

Unfinished LP Style Guitar Kit from China
I unpacked it and set it out to photograph next to the last one they sent.
Nothing new to say… Here are some pictures of the second unfinished kit sent:
Everything else is the same… Weird angled multi pieced together poor grade wood with lots of spots filled with putty, and the workmanship is very poor… Very, poor. All things considered I have to say that all these kits are junk. I have to assume that this kit was carefully selected by the seller in order to represent the best they could do… If not I just don’t know what they are thinking… But then, they are Chinese… Not that I am being a bigot…
You must admit it is difficult at best to undestand why they do what they do.
