Not only is this made to customize, it's also as easy as it can come for everyone to build a guitar. You can build it with all the supplied stuff, but you can upgrade every little thing.
You can paint, you can sand it, you can leave as is. The supplief electronics is OK and reasonable. But don't expect a €1000 sounding guitar. (I mean, look at the price!)
But it does sound and play better than a standard starter guitar. And why? Because you made it yourself!
I also love to see the communities unique works of all the Benton kits. You can join as well.
I love having mine, I play it, but it also hangs on the wall. I can proudly say, I build and customized it myself!
This is what every guitarist (and upcoming guitarists) should have and experience: To build your own and know exactly how a guitar works.
