This will sound like a silly question, but this is all new to me. If I were to remove the nut entirely to what extent would the neck continue to bow away from the strings? I'm not going to snap it...

Awesome. Thanks!!
Hi
I've pretty much finished my TLA-1 build. The guitar looks great and I decided to take it to a local music store to get them to finish the set up, just so I knew it was done properly and the...
Hi all
With my TLA-1 build I'm pretty much all done and up to setup stage. I'm getting some buzzing (and on some strings no note change) over the first five frets. I wasn't sure if this was a...
Thanks Simon
I'm not quite clear on this though. My pickgaurd does have the holes by the neck pickup cut out so I imagine I'm not going with that foam rubber technique. However, given that the...
Issue with positioning the neck pickup.
Watching this video now on fitting the neck pickups to the TLA-1...

Hoping someone might be able to help me with this question about soldering the pickups on a TLA-1. I'm not sure if the hot wire with the shielding is required to contact only on bare wire, or if a...
one quick thing to add to that. I assume the wires through the pair of holes in the pick up selector need to both have solder on them. So this comes back to the question as to whether there needs to...
Up to soldering the pickups. Next question. I'm watching the pitbull tutorial video.

And I have a couple of things I'm not sure of. ...
Thanks Simon. This is great advice. I'm going to try this out this weekend and feel more confident of what to do now.
Hi all
I've just finished staining and finishing the body and neck on my TLA-1 build. I've got some shielding tape and think I'll apply that next. I've seen a video on YouTube where a guy...
I've just done a dingotone clear neck finish. All seemed to go well but although it's been a week of drying, the neck doesn't feel quite as smooth as before it had any finish on it. Initially I...
I know this might seem a silly question but on that part of the body, I assume 'with the grain' means up and down over the short side of that face - meaning that if you lay the body on a table you...
Guys. I followed the advice above on sanding and went with 80, 120 and a light 180. It went pretty well. But not being very experienced with working with wood, I think I may have some scratches...
Thanks Waz. I think I have paper starting at 120. If I take that approach, do you think I should just use that one Grit or start even coarser than that? Is it pretty common for people to only go to...
Thanks Nitroburner. Good tip!
I'm striking my first blow this week in my build by visiting a friend with a vice to cut out my headstock. Then I guess it's on to sanding and finishing, but I haven't yet decided on, or ordered an...
Hi Every one. I'm Dave.
I'm about to start my first guitar build so this is the first post in my build diary. I'm a complete novice but really looking forward to it. I'm doing a TLA-1.
The...
Thanks Dave
I should have seen that. Man eyes! I'll set something up in My Build Diary.
Hi Every one. I'm Dave.
I'm about to start my first guitar build. I'm a complete novice but really looking forward to it. I'm doing a TLA-1. Adam has suggested that I start a build diary on the...
Thanks Stan. Do you know what his email is? The one on the PitBull site bounced.
Thanks Adam. What do you mean by it depending on where you live? Do you mean whether you live in Australia (I've seen the notes about the kits not being able to go on planes)? I'm in Australia (Vic).
I've recently ordered a TLA-1 guitar kit from the PitBull site and am looking at guitar finishing kits, as I haven't ordered anything yet.
The PitBull site seems to offer 10 different colour...
