My idea was to prime the body white and then have my kids paint it. After that I sprayed it several times with clear lacquer.
The result is great, the kids and I enjoyed it, even if the paint job is not perfect. However, I soldered the jack socket wrong in the beginning and it almost just buzzed. Oddly enough, the pickups still worked, though the tones were quieter than the hiss. That's another reason why I was a bit perplexed at first.
Now everything works and it's a super guitar, sounds great to my ear and is light as a feather compared to my Tele.
My next project is possibly a bass kit....

What I liked:
The assembly is a great project that also has a passable result at the end. It was now my second DIY kit (before that I already assembled a Tele) and I had a lot of fun and am also very happy with the result.
However, the following things bothered me:
The instructions are such a generalized version that applies to all of the vendor's electric guitar and bass models that it is extremely disconcerting to someone who has little idea about guitar building. Depending on the model, some steps simply differ a lot, so I think it makes little sense to solve this with a one-fits-all manual. In some cases, not everything is easy to see in the photos. There is definitely room for improvement here.
Some of the drill holes were not pre-drilled cleanly and did not match the parts that were supposed to be mounted on them, which has now resulted in one of the neck screws turning very crooked in the body. It's only a cosmetic problem, but it didn't have to be.
The frets had to be completely re-trued. Some were unfortunately too high, so that the strings, although they were fretted in the 10th fret, for example, could only vibrate freely from the 11th fret. I taught myself how to do this with the help of several Youtube videos, but you also need some special tools for this process, which I had to buy especially for this reason. It would be nice if this could be checked in the factory beforehand.
Oh, and I got a different neck than specified (rosewood fretboard instead of maple), but I only noticed that when I had already started assembling, so I didn't want to complain about it. Who attaches importance to it, but should immediately pay attention to it when unpacking.

Questions about product
Question by Torben on 03.01.2019
Does the fingerboard need to be treated? E.g. oil? If so, which oil would you recommend? Greetings Torben
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The fingerboard is very light and naturally gets dirty when played. A good choice would be Tru-Oil, which you apply with a soft, non-fluffy cloth and let it soak in. If the whole neck remains unvarnished, you can of course also treat the back of the neck well with it.
