Those could just be stock photographs they have on hand but that's not mahogany.

Yeah, feedback is good. I don't know about the mahogany. Mahogany is darker. Unless these aren't the actual pictures?

It's either I buy a cheap starcaster or THIS.

The decisions...

yea, that's what I'm thinking. It's also odd that they'd have a mahogany neck for a semi hollow guitar, probably just a mislabeled description.

Looks pretty decent for the price though.

yea and the 35$ paint job also sounds like a good deal but if it was me buying it I'd probably skip that, see what the wood look like then do a paint job. I suppose if the paint job is poor then you could always refinish it. Looks like all of the parts are there as well.

Yeah. It comes with everything. I saw a few people on the forum build a guitar from a similar kit and it came out good and turned out to be decent quality. I think I would do a stain and then seal it.
