New Custom Specials and Seconds

[BJP]

Hi Everyone,

I just uploaded 10 new specials and seconds kits to the website - https://www.pitbullguitars.com/factory-seconds/

Some custom orders that weren't quite to spec and some factory seconds with small flaws.

Heaps more to come over the next few months so keep an eye out!

[FrankenWashie]

Hiya Ben,

can you PM me the price on the ES5V Mahogany kit please?

[BJP]

Hi Franken,

Sorry about that, just updated it for you.

[Chaosblade]

I caved on that EXM-1. That big cavity will be good for a GFS Redactive kit I got dirt cheap a while back. I'm entirely unfamiliar with Floyd Rose style bridges so that's going to be different, will have to see what the post spacing is like and what's compatible.

Not sure what international shipping times are looking like with covid and whatnot. I'll be out of town for the next 7 days, maybe it won't arrive during the next business week.

That two-tone body is a bit awkward for something clear. Have a very different finish in mind...

[Andy40]

Must....stay....strong....., damn you Ben......

[colin2121]

Must....stay....strong....., damn you Ben......

Doing better than me if you do!

[FrankenWashie]

Must....stay....strong....., damn you Ben......

Yeah....have enough projects....will build one eventually. Just not yet.

[Woltz]

Oh the ES single cut is very tempting.

Despite the description, it looks like there's no large centre block, with probably just a small block under the bridge area.

Hi Simon,

You're right :o, it's a hollow body with a small block under the bridge.
I've updated the description.

[FrankenWashie]

Oh good, the ES-12 is gone....now can someone please Grab the ES-5V, the DM-1, the AG-1 and the GR-1SF so that I may get through this specials period without the bride shooting me.

That ES-5V does look lovely... I never considered mahogany as an option, but I think I can see one in my (distant) future! I fell in love with Dedman's green build, and it's always been niggling in the back of my mind that I'd love to try one on for size.

Hi all,

Just finished uploading another 5 or 6 seconds and specials.
A couple of basses, couple of lefties, something for everyone!

[Sonic Mountain]

That AES-1 has a lot of potential.

[JohnH]

That AES-1 has a lot of potential.

Yeah, it's nice. If I wasn't flat broke it would be in my cart for sure

Why do I click the link? 😳🤨 Why do I always click the link?

Which one are you getting?

[DarkMark]

Arrrggghhhh!
Someone buy the AES-1 before I talk myself into it.

[DarkMark]

It was in my cart. Now my cart is empty. Please help me keep it that way.

mate I’d already caved on the ‘Hog ES 5V. The AES just made me D’Oh that little bit harder.

[BJP]

Haha!
You won't regret that one, Mark. It's a beauty!

[DarkMark]

Haha!

I will if Mrs DarkMark finds it hidden in the attic.

[FrankenWashie]

That’s why the ES 5V kit is staying at work for a while.....

[king casey]

That’s why the ES 5V kit is staying at work for a while.....

...and start incrementally bringing it home piece by piece...
edit: tautologys are us.
cheers, Mark.

[colin2121]

That’s why the ES 5V kit is staying at work for a while.....

And also why the JMA-1L custom is quietly hiding.

[DarkMark]

Well, don’t we sound like the secret society of kit builders. I wonder who can keep their kits hidden the longest?

[blinddrew]

Will look forward toward whatever you do with this. :)

[FrankenWashie]

...and start incrementally bringing it home piece by piece...
edit: tautologys are us.
cheers, Mark.

ROFL! There's only 2 pieces, and they are both fairly conspicuous.
Bride of FrankenWashie: Is that a guitar neck in your pocket or are you just REALLY happy to see me?

One piece at a time ... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18cW_yHo3PY)

;) I like it!

[DarkMark]

Thanks, Drew. I’ve changed my ideas twice already so I look forward to seeing what I do with it too.

I reckon 'here comes another travel guitar'


cheers, Mark.

Hahaha, this one is too nice for me to cut in half.
Kit should arrive tomorrow, Mrs DarkMark will be home sick tomorrow. 🤦

[king casey]

Mrs DarkMark will be home sick tomorrow. 🤦

Where she get's a panoramic view of the Postie struggling up the path with a massive box.
An all-to-familiar scenario in the K.C. household.

I'd suggest investing a small amount of the guitar budget in one of these.

cheers, Mark.

[king casey]

I already have one of those.
I have two actually, one for the dog and one for required circumstances.

So even Fido is higher up the pecking order?

geez, you have my sympathy.

[BJP]

Hey everyone!

Finally got some time to put up some more custom specials and factory seconds - https://www.pitbullguitars.com/factory-seconds/

Some shredders, a couple of lefties and a really nice IC-1

Have at it!

[Twodogies]

Would love to know about my custom guitar. Its been almost a year.

[FrankenWashie]

Oh I see. Call me when they’re all gone thanks

Hi Twodogies,

Can you send me a quick email with your details? ben@pitbullguitars.com
I'll pull your order up and see what's going on.

[DarkMark]

I’m liking what I see there, but must stay strong. Prices are good.

[grahamjohnston80]

I have an Iceman (IC-1) on backorder which is due at the end of November (ordered in September).
Do you think it would be possible to swap my kit for the custom special?
https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/guitars/pit-bull-guitars-ic-1-electric-guitar-kit-custom-special/
(I will pay the difference of course).

I also completely forgot to use the intro 5% offer on my first purchase. Can I use it on a later purchase as I can't see this guitar being my last?
Cheers,

Graham

Hi Graham,

No worries, I just emailed you.

[BJP]

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all had a great xmas and that we all have slightly more normal 2021 than the year just gone.

I finally got a chance to put some more specials and seconds up on the website today - https://www.pitbullguitars.com/factory-seconds/
Something for everyone again; as well as the usuals, there's lefties, basses, shredders and a couple of weird-and-wonderfuls.

As always, please email me if you have any questions or need any help with anything.

[Simon Barden]

I think you'll find the 'IC-1 custom' is a custom MBM-1. Definitely not an Iceman-style.

Ah, thanks Simon, good catch.
All fixed.

[BJP]

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all safe and well wherever you may be.

It's been a while since I had time to put any custom specials and factory seconds up on the website but I managed to get some up yesterday and there's another 15 or so in the queue that I'm working on right now.

Check them out and grab a bargain for your next build - https://www.pitbullguitars.com/factory-seconds/

Thanks!

[BJP]

Hi everyone,

Some new custom specials and factory seconds up on the website but I forgot to post so there's already been a few snapped up.

There's still another dozen or so rogues that I'll try to photograph and list in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out!

https://www.pitbullguitars.com/factory-seconds/

[DarkMark]

I wonder what’s wrong with those ES-3’s? Asking for a friend.

[Simon Barden]

Veneer chips on the side near the end pocket. Fine if you do the sides in a solid colour or a sunburst with the bit near the neck solid or a very dark transparent colour.

[DarkMark]

I see. Click on the guitar and it shows you the issue. Some easy remedies for a good discount. Unfortunately I’ve got other projects on the go.

[Simon Barden]

And they’ll also probably have the low neck angle issue, which really is a much bigger defect.
