Hi All,

I recently bought a pitbull body and neck to start my first kit guitar. I used these and bought all of the parts myself. I finally finished today after many weeks of stumbling through the use of dyes, poly coats, drilling errors, and general lack of experience. At this point, I have learned a LOT, and can't wait to do better on the next.

Some things about the guitar:

- Color was done using leather dyes, then sealed with a matte poly.
- 2-point bridge and locking tuners are from Hipshot
- Pickups are GFS Brighton Rock Vintage Pickups
- Pickguard is Aluminum
- Replaced the plastic nut with a bone nut
- All cavities were painted for noise using a Stewmac product

I attached some pics and would love your feedback!

it looks great!
Nice colors combination, grain and headstock shape!

Yep +1, it looks great. Nice colours.

IMO the headstock wants a logo or a name - but maybe that is just me after reading too many Guitar of the Month feedbacks.
