Review: Easy to assemble with only a few simple tools. - Great little kit. I picked up a nice cedar 10 foot 2x4 from Lowes for about $12 (enough for 3 kits). You can get a 2x4 stud for only a few dollars if you want a cheaper option. The only tools I used were a circular saw and a standard hand drill. The only really tricky parts were cutting out the notches for the tuners and the pickup. Everything else went well. You can find many YouTube videos showing how to saw the notches with a circular saw. I used a speed square to keep the saw perpendicular to the side of the 2x4. Maybe spent six hours total and I am by no means an accomplished woodworker or DIYer. Only advice is to make sure you strip and solder together the black and white wires before you tape them back to the insulated core.
Review: Great value - The pickup alone is worth the price of the whole kit and then some. Easy and fun to build, can take a few hours or a few days depending on how nice you want it to be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for a first time build
*by T***M on January 4, 2024*

This was my first attempt at a lap steel build. I really did not know what was in store. I gave it 4 stars for a couple of reasons. One, I am having issues with the humbucker pickup. It causes hum. It's obviously a ground issue that I haven't been able to reasonably solve. I'm assuming a defective instrument. I've ordered another to try. The other issue is that the instructions didn't include a couple of what I would call important items, i.e. a better explanation on the location and spacing of the tuner keys. I provided the "2x4" by creating a body out of exotic hardwoods I have laying around. Glossed it up with some lacquer, etc. Notching the nut and bridge was tricky and I would recommend taking some extra time to get the notches right. The directions sort of warn the builder to notch the items so that the strings will be the same height. It doesn't take much to make the strings slightly off which, in turn affects the playing of the instrument. Overall, it's a fun project to take on. I modified the suggestions in the directions to use black wire ties for fret markers and embedded the black wire ties into a fretboard I made out of butternut. Quite a bit better looking.
