"Thunder Road guitar build"

Bought the Thunder Road for my son's 40th birthday.
Really impressed with the guitar and guitar building experience, so I ordered a second one for myself

"Don't buy cheap, buy Bolt!"

Ah, the joys of dealing with a small, customer-focussed company! I had a small problem with the ordering process (my fault) resolved quickly after one phone call. As for the guitar itself; I genuinely can't fault it. The quality of the components, the ease of the build, the playability and sound of the end result, all surpassed my expectations. My advice, don't buy cheap, buy Bolt!

"Great guitar kit"

Great guitar kit with well put together video guide. The colouring system works really well.

"Very Nice and Easy to Use Finishing System"

I did not buy a full electric guitar kit, only the finishing products. The video instructions that become available when you buy a product from Bolt are excellent and take the customer through the process in a clear step-by-step process. The stain / dye mixed with the water-based hard varnish builds up with each thin layer applied until you achieve a solid opaque colour, or earlier if you still wish the grain of the wood to show through. It is fast drying, very easy to apply, and cleanup is easy so it's something that can be done in a house. Just follow the instructions.

"Quality kit"

Quality kit - well worth the money. My only criticism would be about the gloss finish.Dries much too quickly to get a smooth finish across the body. Solved this by adding water to delay the drying process.Minimal final set up required and very happy with the result.

"Go on buy one you won't regret it ?"

The online video's are very helpful if you have never built a guitar before and the whole experience was better than expected. The flame neck was a surprise and the quality of wood for the body again was a surprise for the price of the kit and would hope they do other models ie: Strat or offset.
I built the guitar with the beach look in sea foam green with a black pickguard and it looks stunning, the neck is as smooth as a babies bottom and can highly recommend this kit.

"Good Guitar kit"

Having looked at numerous cheap kit guitars over this last couple of years, I held off buying one due to some of the bad reviews I have seen on the majority of them. Having come across Bolt Guitars back in November, and read the positive reviews on their guitar kit, I decided to go ahead and purchase one.

Not only do they put all of the parts you need to build the Telecaster guitar in the kit, along with one`s chosen colour of dye! I considered the kit to be reasonably priced.

The service from the company has been excellent from start to finish. It also helped having the online instructional videos in the portal which are so easy to follow. An extra bonus was the Facebook group where I could seek extra help or advice if needed.

The guitar kit has been designed to a high standard, with any predrilled holes drilled correctly. The guitar neck fit perfectly into the guitar body, without any issues. All in all, a great kit, which I enjoyed building, and a good reasonable playable guitar a the end of it.
