That’s looking amazing!
Love the idea of the binding already!
Really glad the kit went to someone with a passion for JRs. I’ll be watching the build with interest.
Thanks guys. Fingers crossed that it tickles someone’s fancy.
Hi guys, unfortunately due to a change of circumstances I have been unable to finish my Pitbull LP jr kit.
Wanting $120ono for it. Pick up from the Gold Coast preferred. Included will be the...
Good idea for the neck plate. I'll have a look tomorrow night and see home it goes.

I'm not very good with following descriptions via written word (part of being dyslexic). Is this (smooth along the black line) what you mean FrankenWashie?
Great minds think alike!
The last photo of the guitar I would like to ask you about dedman; the start of the cutout under the neck digs into my hand when I try to go for the upper frets, do you...
PICTURES! finally :P the colour of the wood is a little washed out due to fluorescent lighting and dark background.

Seems to be a bit of glue on the headstock and first...
Better late than never :p all good. I'm thinking of trying this tailpiece out. I think it looks cool and has some good reviews. I'm going to do some measuring to make sure it will fit.
Day has...
Thanks for the replies guys. I'll post later this arvo when I get home and hopefully add some pics as well.
Got a call from my wife saying that the kit has been delivered. Looks like Aus post trough it over the fence even though there is 'fragile' all over the box. :mad: Hope it's all ok. I'll check it out...
I'm yet to experience the sanding. I'm sure I'll know all about it soon.
Hahaha, yeah. There are tonnes of guitars I've always wanted, but, couldn't afford. If the kit goes well I now have a way to get them. I still want a 335, SG, explorer and tele :P
Thanks for the encouragement. That 335 of yours is one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen. If this kit goes well I'm hoping to do a 335 kit with Coolangatta gold stain on top and natural for...
Indeed it is. It was a selling point at the time, but, I don't really use it that much. Most used setting is Bridge not split, then neck, then neck & middle. That's about it.
Thanks guys! When I got it I was in the store looking for a Tele, but, once I saw that guitar I couldn't leave without it. Plays pretty well too, which, is a bonus.
Agreed. Plan at this time is to have it the natural colour with a tortoise shell pickguard to go with my G&L Strat, which is swamp ash:

I've been reading your thread already :P. Love...
I've got the sandpaper and TO coming with the kit. I want to see how the wood looks before deciding whether to just TO it or stain it as well.
Got the neck done because I don't trust myself...
Got an email yesterday that Dingobass has finished with my neck set up and the kit is on it's way!!
This morning Aus post has a ETA of next Wednesday.
Pretty excited about getting into the kit,...
I've ordered the JR-1M, and hopefully will have it delivered later this week. I will most likely be getting a Brierley dog ear vintage 60s p90 for it: http://www.brierleyguitarpickups.com.au/p90.htm ...
Great videos! As someone who is waiting for their kit to arrive it gives a bit of an insight into the process.
Thanks for the info Simon!
Deadman, did you use the stock wrap around bridge or did you upgrade?
A quick one with the fret options. If you pick the option to have a zero fret, then you cannot pick 22 or 24 frets. If you option for a zero fret can you still get 24 frets?
Evening All,
I've just put my order in for a Single Cut Jr kit in Mahogany. I'm pretty excited as this is my first kit and my first new guitar for about 10 years (I've downsized rather than get...
