    Hello + a question

    Hi!

    I just discovered Pittbull guitars and signed up.

    I want to build a tele thinline with a maple short scale neck, Two humbucker pick ups and a whammy - possibly a strat style babicz system ... Is that possible using Pittbull products?

    Sincerely

    Mads Anderskouv

    Hi Mads, welcome to the forum !
    you talking about the TL-1TH kit ? It is possible to put a strat style tremolo but you will need to route a hole all the way through the body for the tremolo block to fit and a spring cavity on the back for the tremolo springs so fair bit of modifying.
    Why don't you consider the TL-1TB has a Bigsby style tremolo that sits ontop of the body ?

    Yes, completely do-able. Just depends on your level of adventure or skill!

    That sounds great. Is it possible to have the drilling and holes done by Pittbull. And if not, how do I find out where to make them? I'm thinking about ordering a TH-1TL and a Babicz-system ....

    Ma, there is direction on how to build the kits here: http://www.pitbullguitars.com/guides/
    Watch through them and decide if you can do it. It's certainly not hard to assemble most of the kits if you leave them as they come, when it comes to custom mods that you don't have the tools for.. talk to Adam or DB I think.

    These things can be done. Email me at dingobass at pitbullguitars dot com with your wish list and I will work up a price for you

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hey Mads, Dingobass will do a fantastic job of modifying/routing for the Babicz tremolo.
