It appears the PBG server is down this morning. Any news from PBG HQ?
That’s a bit disappointing to hear - they looked so good when Adam got the first samples. Best to look at other options I guess!
Given the length of time since they disappeared can one assume that they won't actually be coming back? Not that I'm impatient, but these were on the list of kits I was considering for my next build...
Well the semi- hollows didn’t hang around too long, although I’m not surprised! Any more in the pipeline Adam?
Thanks Adam, you guys rock so I hope this didn’t come across as a complaint - just wanted to highlight the missing link for the FR option. Just have to do some renegotiation on the replacement order...
I’m not seeing the option for ordering the Floyd Rose version any more. I had originally ordered one of these but it arrived as a no Trem version. What’s the expected turnaround now for the custom...
Merry Christmas Adam, DB and everyone on the Pitbull forum. This is an awesome community! Thanks, Adam, for pulling out all the stops with all the last minute shipping - it was greatly appreciated,...
Have to agree with Dave. I’ve been considering a thin line semi hollow kit to add to my collection and that GPR-1B does look very nice. Just wondering about the bridge type in the kit - doesn’t seem...
I guess the degree of pressure on those expectations depends on whether Adam is likely to offer these kits as a custom order option at some future time. That appears to be less likely at this point,...
I was using the Boss RC1 until I decided to get a BeatBuddy to lay down my drum track - came up against the dreaded clock sync issue - the cheaper loop pedals don’t have MIDI sync capability so when...
Phew!! Thanks, the temptation was getting too much! Seriously though, I am with Waz .. if I’m spending top dollars on the body I’m going to want to customise the hardware to my own taste, and it...
One of the things that really impressed me about this forum is the positive attitude of the community in offering help and assistance during our builds. No Trolls upsetting the apple cart 😏. We all...
The grain on both of the "F" kits looks great - would have to highlight them with a transparent stain or natural finish. PRS price is a bit steep for mine in a kit.
Thanks for all the great comments. I feel very honored in being awarded a runner-up in this company. The finish on WazKelly's Swampcaster is absolutely brilliant - I'm not sure I would have the...
I think there might also be a stray entry in the July GOTM that got submitted after judging closed. The entry is from morningmusic.
Looks like some serious competition for this month but here's my submission:

Jazz bass with ash body and maple fretboard.
Body is finished with a Feast Watson...
Thanks for that. Time to raid my daughter's jewellery making tools then. I love pay-back 😏.
Thanks! Not really a bass dude myself either - got 6 and 12 strings in the collection so I thought this would be a good way to fill a hole on the guitar stand. Next project will definitely be in the...
Yes. FW mahogany with a wipe-on poly finish. Very happy with the result now, although I was a bit apprehensive about the purple hue before the finish coat went on. Neck is natural dingotone.
Finally received the bone nut and some dingowax so that I could finish the fretboard and proceed with the setup.
Here are images of the finished guitar.
Setup was fairly uneventful - the...
Looks really good. Not sure about my choice of a maple fret board for my JB. The contrast of body colour, fret board and head stock looks really great.
Yes. I thought I'd stick with the kit hardware for my first build to see what sort of result I get. Might look at some more esoteric options for the next time around.
May even do some upgrades on...
20256 Well it's all together, and looking pretty good I think ;) Just awaiting the arrival of that bone nut and some dingo wax to finish off the fret board and then we get to see how good a job I...

Doing the bridge alignment thing with 2 pieces of string and that temporary plastic nut.
I've gone with the kit tuners for now - I'm holding off on any further upgrades until I see what...
