Thanks, glad it helped! I had a pro assemble the kit and he was impressed on how well it went together.

I built the same kit and oiled the fingerboard and polished the frets. It will need a little barrel/fret love to get it right.

this particular DIY kit is sold out. I would search telecaster DIY or guitar diy kit on temu and find the one that best suits your wants and needs. Thanks!

just got my $60 tele temu kit annnnd not bad quality as far as body and neck go. I will use the electronics and pups for testing other builds. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING PICKUPS i found the neck pup has the lead wires soldered DIRECTLY to the pup winding wire, under the tape. The leads are not soldered to grommets. if you pull the wires too hard they may break under the tape and POOF goes your pickup. clean and oil the fretboard. Tidy up the fret ends. polish frets. finish sand the body and neck. If like me all you wanted was a good quality neck and body for this price point, you got it. The electronics and wiring look and feel cheap. given the issue with the pickup lead wiring i would never feel comfortable selling this kit with that wiring issue. Even after replacing most parts you can still make a few duckettes with this kit at this price point. And deliver a quality guitar.

Dustin, that built ghis guitar mentioned almost everything you touched on while building this. he thought for the money it would be a "workable" 1st guitar, and he said if it was his guitar the 1st hing he would do would put in a quality pickup. he also resoldered a few components as he didn't like how they had it wired. you are 100% correct and thanks!
