Thread: G'day strummers

  1. #1

    G'day strummers

    Just getting in early to say howdy. I am currently sanding my new GR-1SF kit. And yes, dust is everywhere... This will be my first build so I'm excited but freakin as to how she'll turn out. I had always wanted a Gretsch 6120 but definitely know better ways at spending that kind of coin. I saw this kit and thought what a great idea... Plus I can now afford some cold beers to enjoy whilst crafting this mean axe. Very happy to say the least with the kit thus far, well done Pitbull... Anyway, no doubt I'll be needing advice down the track. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Cheers,

    Mojo - NSW South Coast
