    Hey, New to Both This Forum and Guitar Building

    I've been playing guitar for about 12 years now and I want to get into building these kit guitars for a more affordable way to basically get a guitar completely to my spec. I happened upon the Pitbull Guitars site and saw that it has kits for all the weird shaped guitars I love lol. I do have one question for anybody from the States on this forum though, have any of you had any issue with the kits getting through customs?


    Thanks much, and looking forward to posting my builds on this forum.

    Welcome! If you contact Adam on the main PBG site he would be able to give the details of USA shipping. There are plenty of US builds on here, so they must get there!

    Must be that old economics chestnut of supply vs demand ratio.

    I don’t know what scares me more about the owner of this guitar...their choice of guitar? Or, their choice of backdrop to photograph it against?
