Price also seems reasonable.

I dunno... they look identical to the bazillion other cheap strat/tele kits out there.

hmmm works out to around $580 delivered - then need to paint and assemble? what's a Squier CV worth? I reckon that would be easier!

I had a brief skim of the email, but aren't they ash and alder vs basswood and chinese pine?

basswood can be great, sorry, just the generic term...

These guys have some nice kits. Standard prices are a bit steep but some really decent specials or discounted "seconds" come up via the mailing list.

They do seem quite pricey. One can probably get a decent second hand guitar for the price.

Not sure whether they are made by the same people, but I recently bought a replacement neck from Stew Mac for my Mexi P-Bass and it is really good- much better than the originial- even before the truss-rod went bung!
