    nice build Allcanbeforgiven, never seen this kit was it a custom order ? Looks very cool with the black hardware. And fretless !
    Did you have to put dot markers on the side of the fingerboard ?
    what's the stain Dingotone Bushfire sunrise? Very simple with the one neck pickup. Presume controls are volume and tone ?

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    It came with simple side dots, I left them there. Sometimes I put plastic side dots in.

    Thank you, This a PitBull standard kit basswood body. It sustains well. Pitbull is the only reasonable fretless kit I found for DIY. I ordered and already received alder body and an ash body from Adam, along with 3 more fretless necks, ebony, rosewood and another maple. This plays well button the finish did not harden, the clear. The orange stain was water base and I blended the neck on purpose, started the clear with a glaze, then enamel what a pain. I'll chalk it up learning experience, now I remember why I take it to the body shop for proper paint! That's why I wanted an inexpensive kit, in ca we expect I duffed it. It sustains very well with flat tapewound strings, bone nut, Hipshot tuners, Seymore Duncan single coil high output passive pick as close to 12th fret as I could get it. I play bottom all the time so I never use bridge pick up!
