Building the Left-Handed ES Semi-Hollow Kit is a rewarding challenge tailored for expert builders. Painting the mahogany body is manageable thanks to its smooth surface, though special care is needed around the binding and a sealer is recommended for the neck. Assembling requires precision, especially when setting the glued neck, where alignment and string action must be carefully checked before committing. Adjusting sound and playability is of moderate complexity, with a trapeze tailpiece offering straightforward overall adjustments.
