 "You get what you pay for." 2009-12-08
By Shepherd
Where do I start? Neck pocket is too big. Body is five pieces with the joints clearly visible. Don't plan on a butterscotch finish. Your gonna have to play this with gloves on cause the fret ends are like razors. Hardware, don't even take it out of the box. If you want a cheap guitar, this is it. If you want a cheap guitar you can actually play, buy a completly finished Rondo for a few bucks more.

 "Grizzly Tele Kit Review" 2009-04-22
By S. Petty (NC)
I recently ordered one of these Grizzly telecaster kits due to always wanting to build my own guitar, and the very low price of this kit. My kit arrived 3 days after placing the order. All of the pieces were there, and all were in good shape. I was impressed at the quality of the woods. I knew there would have to be corners cut somewhere, and discovered that the tuners were kinda cheap, and the control pots were small and probably a little weak. I decided to go ahead and just build the guitar as-is, and not replace any of the kit pieces yet. The body was rough sanded and sprayed with sanding sealer already, but needed final sanding before finish was applied. The neck was the same, but was sanded smoother than the body was from the factory. I used a coping saw and a Dremel Tool to shape the headstock into a tele headstock. If you use the kit turners, and since the pre-drilled holes for the tuners are spaced farther apart that on a standard tele, you must slightly make the headstock shape longer if you wish to make a tele shaped head, otherwise the high E string tuner mount will not fit on the headstock. I then sanded the body and neck and just sprayed on several coats of clear Nitro. After taking care to measure and drill all holes correctly, the guitar assembled well. I built this kit over the weekend, and did not run across any nasty surprises with this kit. After completing my kit, the guitar needed a good setup. After about a full day of making adjustments to the truss rod and action and intonation, I got this guitar to play very well. If you are a tinkerer, and if you already perform your own setups to your current guitars, then this kit will serve you well. Even with stock kit parts, the guitar sounds like a tele, plays well and looks great. But, being a kit, this guitar can be either a very high quality guitar, or a sorry piece of crap, it all depends on how well YOU make it. I am well pleased with this product, and will be building my second kit soon! I will, however, probably be replacing the plastic nut with a TUSQ, and the tuners may be upgraded soon as well, along with the electronic components. Even if you decide to not use some of the kit pieces and decide to upgrade from the start, you can use this kit to build a very fine guitar for under $250 !!
