Not that it would make much difference, but I used these colours on the kit. Green for the front, yellow for the back.

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you, mate. Every figured kit I've ever received from Pitbull has been stunning though, so I'm sure you will get something great. :)
Thanks, Zandit. I...
Hey mate. Like any timber, you sand with the grain. On flame maple (or most other figured woods) the figuring can mislead you as to the direction of the grain. However, you sand from the neck to the...
Damn, son! This is looking great.
Oh man! You are gonna make me so jealous as you progress through this build... :mad:
For me personally, I would either go with the figured jarrah for the unique factor, or a nicely quilted maple...
Oh baby! That is a nice looking guitar, I must say.
Great job! :D
I'm no expert, but basswood can be quite intriguing. Whilst typically being considered quite bland as far as woods go, it can quite often present with some interesting colouration and grain. So my...
From this introduction, I cannot wait to see where this build diary goes.
Welcome to the PBG family, DM. ;)
I'm sure I will too. Just got to stop being a lazy fella and do it. ;)
Well... Like basically all the guitars I'm building, it is neither finished nor making noise. :P
The Wasp still has grounding issues (which are hopefully getting sorted Saturday), the IB hasn't had...
Hi all, apologies for the lateness of my reply. Thanks for the kind words. PBG is undoubtedly the most supportive forum I've ever been a part of. :)
Hey, Bungee. The front (green) is a flame...
That too looks b-e-a-utiful!
On a related note, that stain is some the the stickiest stuff I have ever used. It murders anything you apply it to, including wood, clothes, skin... It is...
Ooooo baby! This is gonna be one sweet shred-beast when done. Looking forward to the progression.
I'm with you on that...
Get in touch with our resident pickguard master, PabloPepper. He ought to be able to help with your guard.
By golly, that is a tremendous finish! :eek:
Cheers, mate. I really appreciate that.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your build progression as well. I hope it surpasses mine, cause it's still plagued by issues. Which I should really get around to...
Really digging the headstock shape you've gone with here. Will suit the style beautifully. Very keen to see this paintwork come alive. :D
Yes! Another build with a really unique twist! I love these knes, and I cannot wait to see your dream become a reality. Looking real nice so far. :D
1973 'Cuda for me.

Been in love with them for as long as I've known what a real car was.
Oooo! Another MB build! I like seeing these progress, so I'll be watching this build with interest. Have fun with it. :)
Cheers, lads. I do love me a good SG.
As promised, here's a few photos with some Tru-Oil clothes. Long way to go yet, but you get the general gist. Keen to see where it ends up. My next focus will...
I had that happen to me on my IB-1 too. I tried the thinner approach, but the cracks were too deep (same as yours). I thought about making it a feature, but I couldn't find a way to make extra...
Cheers, Gav & Tony. Very happy with how the colours have come out. Adding Tru-Oil has really darkened them up though, but I'm slowly growing to appreciate that too. I'll get some pics up soon. :)

Wow. Scored big time with both these 'Pro' kits, Tony. These are both shaping up to be really exciting builds. I bet Adam is stoked that it's you building them, with this fantastic attention to...
