A fret had risen on either end of the neck, probably due to the humid weather. Contacted Bolt and they immediately arranged a Zoom call and worked with me to resolve. They really believe in their gu... See more

Fixes everything that is wrong with guitar kits
Excellent quality kit, with everything you need to build an excellent guitar.
Guitar kits often come with poorly produced woodwork and inferior quality parts that will require some decent woodworking skill to achieve a playable guitar. Not so with the Bolt Thunder Road (T-Style). This kit comes with everything, including sandpaper and a really clever colour system which is easy to apply by hand with a few offcuts from a t-shirt.
What sets this kit apart is the quality of the parts (the flame maple neck is gorgeous) and the online video step by step "course" that you follow Martin from Bolt along as he builds one with you. Add to that the friendly and responsive Facebook group and chatroom that you can turn to for questions, encouragement and support and this really is unique in the world of guitar kits. Their two taglines "Anyone can build a guitar" and "Life's too short for s*** guitars" are really true.
The best part is, the final product is a really playable, great sounding Tele style guitar.
