GuitarWorks Solo Cutaway Kit Build – Failed the Finish, Learned a Lot

Описание: Thinking about building your first DIY electric guitar kit? In this video, I take you step by step through the full build of the Guitarworks Solo Cutaway DIY Electric Guitar Kit by Gear4Music — from unboxing and sanding the paulownia body to attempting (and failing) a French polish finish with shellac. Along the way, I share everything I learned: what to expect at this price point, what parts might need replacing, and how the final guitar actually plays and sounds after a few weeks of use. Whether you’re researching beginner guitar kit builds, curious about Gear4Music DIY guitar kits, or wondering if a French polish on soft wood is worth the effort, this honest, detailed build guide will help you decide if it’s a fun project—or a waste of time.. #guitarbuild #shellac #frenchpolish
