IMPORTANT NOTES:
Wii models will need to use custom frets, or some heavily modified stock frets in order to be compatible with this kit.
If you want some 3D printed frets to use instead of modding the stock frets, check out this listing:

Xplorers require flush cutting of the rear neck cover internals for stock frets, or modification of stock frets to be used; custom frets recommended.
Some models may need shims for the strumbars to "tighten" strumming. Shims not included.
Soldering equipment and experience not included!
Colors may vary for 6 pin wire, washers, and/or screws; functionality not affected.
Third party guitars have not been officially tested, but feel free to give them a go!
Let me know if you have any questions! :)
