I received a Tele build with a spalted maple top. This was proabably my 12th build and second order from GKW. The first build was a Firebird and that turned out to be a very good build as well. SO nice, I was able to sell it! The Tele build was an easy build compared to some of the others. The design is simple. I used tung oil for the finished and buffed it up with car polish. Plugged into an amp, it sounds really good.

I ordered a kit for a grandfather/grandson project, but soon after found that a tariff would increase the cost. We changed the order which came down to a different fretboard material in a kit that shipped from New Jersey (no tariff) and it arrived with no issues. Thanks for the heads up, Guitar Kit World!
We purchased a bass kit. When we assembled it we found about 30%+ of the frets were lifted. We had to pay a professional Luthier to fix and get it to a playable state. About 3 months later GKW sent me a request to review, I reviewed it and got a direct message which asked me to send photos. When I asked about recourse I was informed they do not resolve anything after 1 month - I had no clue this issue existed in the first month. Their responses after the fact felt like they blamed it on me for not reporting it sooner - when they elicited the feedback and then did nothing to help resolve it. Ultimately this instrument was unusable without major amounts of luthier work.Response to their reply: I have purchased over 10 guitars and have never had a single popped fret. this instrument had over 80% of the frets popped. This level of quality failure is not humidity alone, it's poor craftsmanship or parts or all three.
I ordered a JEM- Style guitar kit in december 2024, and march 1 it arrived. About 10 weeks.. that is not thanks to Guitar Kit World but the horrible delivery system of China, I believe. Anyway, got it. The body needs some shavings, and the headstock point is not exactly Ibanez, but they never claimed it is an Ibanez. Nothing I can not take care of myself. (except the postal system. lol)
update:company totally redeemed themselves with a full refund after experience went south... it’s tough times out there for everyone and these guys treated me right and we were able to move ahead with a build kit after all.
