BYO Guitars kit quality
Anyone here built either the Lunatic or Quilt top (Wolfgang copy)? I know the electronics are pretty lacking in kits but I was wondering about the body and neck quality.

I've not heard any consistent reviews of BYOG. The hardware and electronics (as you said) look super cheap.
If you're wanting to build a Wolfgang you'd be better off buying a legit EVH body or having Chris Locke make you a Wolfgang body. Musikraft makes Wolfgang necks as well. Your budget for the project will definitely be higher, but the end result will be much higher quality. You'd probably be paying between $400-$500 for the body and neck from Locke/Musikraft. But then you get to add quality hardware and electronics on top of that. Wolfgang Standard bodies sell for $100-$200 on eBay. Or you could score a full guitar for around $400 and mod the hell out of it - which I've done.

I'm not 100% sure, but you should definitely ask him. He's pretty accommodating.

I have one of their kits, my second electric guitar. It was the EVH/MusicMan kit thy sold before Ernie Ball shut that down. Upgraded the nut and bridge and pickups, but it is a cool guitar. Currently at a buddy's getting painted (again)

That's where I don't agree with a lot of ppl - they pretend that TFA and the last one were problem-free. They weren't. Kylo Ren was badly written. Snoke - terrible. The red haired dude, agitated -...
