Harley Benton Telecaster T-Style Kit - Assembly

Welcome to the Next Project!
Time for another guitar kit assembly project.
A nice "easy" one, well mostly easy.This will be a very quick unboxing, basically looking for obvious issues, missing parts, and gather my senses. Then put it all together.

I rate this kit a 3 out of 5. Easily upgraded to a 4 with just a few minutes of "repair" work. And, YOU can easily improve this kit to your liking.It is a very easy kit to assemble, and the resulting guitar isn't all bad. It needs some love and attention to make it enjoyable to play, but that is all good practice and training for being a guitar owner. JUST HAVE FUN!

I will attempt to upload my full description soon. Currently there is a YT bottleneck which is limiting my content to about this much. Gotta love tech~
