That is awesome. We have a few father and son teams on the forum. Would love to see the progress in a build diary. It will also help us to help you as there are sone eagle eyes amongst our community who can give timely guidance when asked for and sometime when not! But is always constructive and helpful. Look for the thread "how to build your pitbull guitar".

Welcome Jeff & Rowan to the PBG clan.

You'll have a blast working on the kit together. I built a BC-Rich Avenge with my 10 year old son and it was a great experience. Start a build diary and share your progress and experiences with all of us!

cheers,
Gav.

Welcome along guys - my daughters are a touch younger, but it's a good feeling when you can get them involved (especially the sanding part :) ). Great to see teams getting together to build guitars together.

welcome Jeff and Rowan,
I'm sure you will enjoy the build and it probably won't be your last build ! Start a build diary and ask lots of questions, plenty of help on the forum. Don't rush the build and Dingobass's mantra is sand, sand more, sand again, and when you think you have sanded enough, sand again !
Best of luck
What colours you got in mind - stains or solid paints ?

hello

during our build we were sanding and found a tiny crack in the wood. the original idea was to varnish the wood with Wudtone but after finding the crack we realized that it would stand out like crazy so we have decided to paint instead.

the plan is to see how the pickups are that come with the kit and maybe change them for some EMG or Seymore Duncans

Welcome guys. The orange paint job looks killer. Great choice, and a nice even spray job! She's going to be an awesome axe once assembled.

Hi Jeff, have you got a build diary in the build diary section ? might be easier to start one there and continue it there. Makes it much easier for any forumites to search for a build thread. Last place they will look is the welcome threads !
It's only a suggestion !
