In the next few months I'll be getting my Pitbull kit and will be doing an Ace Frehley inspired build and just wondering if anyone has routed their pitbull body for 3 humbuckers and has any tips.

Cheers,
Adam

Unless you are skilled using routers and have a template....don't try do it yourself, a small slip and you will have deep gouges where you don't want deep gouges. DB may consider doing it for you for a small fee if you ask nice...

Geez, Thanks Gav.... :P

Of course we can arrange to rout the extra mount hole, just let us know when you order the kit and I will do for you.

It will cost you $39.95..... if I am in a good mood on the day! :D

I found DB charges less if you drop off a 6 pack of Coopers Pale ale !

Adam, I am assuming your LP kit is an arch top rather than a flat face. Practicing with a Dremel tool with a chunk of hardwood will give you practice and confidence. I don;t know what you folks have in Australia in the way of guitar repair/building tools, this is the best selection I know of here in the USA, they have all the templates you would need, plus many hints and tips for guitar building in general.

Hey Tony

We have a hardware store named B.B.B......(still can't say it)....rhymes with runnings and would be local to everyone of us across Australia...but we'd still rather buy our tools and such from Stewmac! So a really great reference from you!
