The Les Paul had a few glue spots on the body under where the cap was glued on, and I had to spend a bit of time scrubbing them out. Both my kits came with a pretty crappy plastic nut, so I spent a bit more to get a bone nut cut for both of them. You can't expect a stellar-quality kit for that low a price. I guess the key is to remember what you're buying.
Once you get the kit-building bug, it's pretty hard to shake. Next on the list will be either an ash-body Jazz Bass or a Music Man, then onto probably something with single coils - most likely a jazzmaster or maybe a tele. So far I've finished a Les Paul and a 6-string bass, and I'm currently starting on a 3/4 size strat for my son. kits for a while now and one of these days I'll get around to ordering one. I've been wanting one of Precision's double-cut Jr. Otherwise if I were picking individual parts, I'd have no problem ordering from Warmoth, USACG or the others I mentioned.

Personally if I wanted a full kit, I'd got with Precision or Carvin (in that order). You'll have to decide whether or not you want to risk it. However, I've heard more than a few stories about poor customer service, people getting sent the wrong parts, that sort of thing. There's a company called BYOGuitar that has some nifty-looking kits at good prices. They're cheap for a reason, and often require a lot of extra work precision manufacturing isn't really part of the deal. If you've never done a kit before, I'd actually recommend against the GuitarFetish kits. Guitar Mill, Musikraft also make nice bodies and necks, but they're kind of pricey (although they do sometimes have b-stock stuff, so it might be worth a look.) Allparts also has a "B-stock" selection of bodies, which are great if you're doing a solid color finish and don't mind filling a couple small knots or dings they're less than half the price of a regular body. For "kit" parts that are good quality, Mighty Mite stuff is affordable and generally really well made.there's just not a lot of options, and things like fret ends need a fair bit of work. If you don't mind sourcing parts separately, Warmoth and USA Custom Guitars both make top notch necks and bodies with dozens of different options.

The Carvin kits are also pretty solid, and both companies offer upgrade options. If you want a full kit, the Precision ones are excellent and pretty affordable considering the quality.
Official Luthiers Forum Lots of great stuff here, Mainly for acoustics, but also for electrics.Focuses on telecasters, has a lot of info on building and finishing (check the "Tele Home Depot" and "Finely Finished" subforums).
