Well, first off the ranks...
my Kustom ordered WL kit. Ordered with no bridge or trem routing.
So this build was intended to answer the question no one asked "What if Leo Fender had designed the Warlock?"
Basically I rounded off all pointy bits quite a bit. I had ordered white fretboard dots but the factory did black, so I replaced them with whiteish MOP. My first attempt at drilling a string through and even though I used a drill press one is wonky on the back. Speaking of the back I made a control cavity cover from some 3 ply scratch plate material. Bridge is a Schaller roller, I really like these. Tuners are Duesenburgs, I'm kind of partial to those too. Pick ups are GFS Gold Foil alnico's, they have a bit of a generic sound, nothing to be excited over. I have them wired to split on the volume and tone pots. I bought 3 LP switch surrounds and flipped them over to give me 3 plain white rings around the controls, the knobs are clear chicken heads with part of the inside painted in the body colour which incidentally is LILAC not pink! It's a late 50's Oldsmobile colour in keeping with Fenders use of auto colours. And last but not least the truss rod cover is from Hell Guitars in Japan.

Hello

Here is my recently finished TL-1 kit, the very first kit I’ve ever made and entered into GOTM. I got it for my birthday and I have spend many weekends working on this. I went with a Tele as I heard it was a good place to start and I sure am glad I did. I love the white and gold colour scheme and it feels different to play than my Strat but a good different. Along the way I didn’t have too many problems and whatever problems did occur disappeared quickly.

Not only do I think it’s great, my friends at school all love it and can’t get over the fact that I made it. Someone even offered to pay me to make one for them.

Build Thread is here:-

https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=9529

With working away getting in the way, this still only took 01 May 2019 place order....today 16 June 2019 completely finished.

Pitbull Guitars 2 piece ash body maple neck and maple fretboard precision bass kit. (GPB-4M)

https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/...-kit-ash-body/

Body, neck, fingerboard all finished with Feast Watson Fine Buffing Oil, followed by Gillys Cabinetmakers Wax, and finished with Gillys Carnauba Polish.

Body has three different shades of timbermate. Outside edge is walnut.....next inside that is Cedar/Blackwood...and then in the middle is a neutral timbermate coloured with vintage amber colortone dye.

None of the colouring is really obvious. The neck was just done front to back with the Cedar/Blackwood colour.

Upgrades:-

From Pitbull with the original kit purchase:-

1 x (Set) Entwistle PBXN pickups
1 x Tusq nut
1 x Sprague Orange Drop 0.047mf capacitor
1 x Switchcraft 1/4inch jack socket
1 x Bourns Mini Audio taper 250k pot (Used in Tone position.)

From Real Parts:-

1 x Chrome Bridge Cover
1 x Chrome Pickup Cover
1 x Wilkinson 4 string Bass bridge.
1 x Bourns Push Pull 250k pot (Volume and push-pull for series and parallel.)
1 x set GOTOH Elephant Ear Bass Tuners.
1 x (Set) Schaller style strap lock buttons (Chrome.)
2 x Metal Dome knobs (Chrome.)

Ordered online at PBG on 01 May 2019. All complete at the end of the day today 16 June 2019.

That is so much quicker than paint or Tru-Oil finishes.

I used sandpaper...but only through to 240grit...I used 00, 000, 0000 grade steel wool...and I used a fine sandpaper foam block to roll the edges of the fretboard. I did a complete taping up of the fretboard...marking of the frets...flattening the truss road and neck checked flat.....frets all levelled.....then sanded, steel wool and finally AutoSol polished. The ends of the frets were filed smooth and then with the freetboard rolled as the sanding foam block passed over.

I covered the control cavity with strips of copper tape from a 50metre roll I have, and also used the same on the complete underside of the pickguard. I also used two x nylon washers from the Green shed on the shafts of the two pots under the pickguard.

My wiring harness was made by me. I used White and Black vintage push back wire. I extended the pickup wires to reach both sides of the push-pull pot with this wire also.

I used 60/40 lead solder at 400 degrees whenever any soldering was needed. I used the leads (legs) from the capacitor to make jumper connectors for the push pull pot. (The external wires are all soldered on....but I used the leads to create the cross pot connections and the earth connections.)

I love that the wood is not perfect. The top edge has marks that look like cracks....but are scratches that cross the grain....the front back and sides have some wicked growth marks, knots and even a ding or two. The bottom edge is not as nearly clearly defined with growth rings as other bodies I have....but still feels and looks great.

This tree has lived a life before it became a Bass Guitar....and I love listening to the stories it continues to tell.

Hey guitargords the pictures aren't showing up.

Hi All,

I humbly offer my submission.

This is my first build and was challenging but lots of fun.

I started with a thinline kit TL-1TB and then customised it with a series of mods to arrive at something close to my desired guitar:

- Replaced the tune-o-matic bridge with a wilkinson tele half bridge, cut down to allow access for the Bigsby
- Converted the pickups to hard mount without the pickup ring
- Replaced the pots, capacitors and jack
- Added a treble bleed circuit
- Adjusted the neck breakover angle
- Routed a larger control cavity
- Designed and fabricated my own pickguard
- Rounded over the rear edge of the body
- Carved the neck to allow better access and feel
- Upgraded to Grover locking tuners and bone nut

The finish is Holts Duplicolour black and clear coat acrylic.

Hope you like and thanks to the forum members for help along the way.

23-06-2019, 04:21 PM
Well there are some epic builds in this months GOTM. Now mine is completely finished I’ll throw mine in as well.

I did have help finalising the set up, but I’m so pleased. To me it sounds awesome just like a Tele should. I will post some videos tomorrow on my build page.

Firstly I must thank everyone who gave me advice and help along the way. You guys are awesome, you know who you are.

Mine is a TLA-1 and completely stock.

Thanks Brendan. Several months ago I built a guitar in Collab with a mate of mine "Steve" from Black Hart Airbrushing which was based on a wolf in Northern Lights. We both had a rough time getting around some problems and learnt heaps. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to do another one. This was posted on behalf of him. a Prince themed airbrushed JMA-1 guitar. Deep purple flake body. Pearl "Prince" logo airbrushed on the back and pickguard. Purple candy over the original Red tortoise pickguard, prince airbrushed onto headstock with a oil similar to tru oil on the neck. We also have a Slash Les paul on the way soon which will be posted in the non pitbull guitar threads at some point! or follow his IG: blackhartairbrush (if allowed to mention that)
Thanks!

I’ll give it a go

My bet for this month....actually my choices...

1. Jellos PRINCE guitar. Just WOW to the artwork and reverence to the purple prince. An amazing build.

2. This one was hard....but the uniqueness of Bakersdozens TELEMASTER build got me here. The flame on the neck, the grain on the body and headstock design are amazing....and my bent towards natural finishes helped me to put this one as runner up.

Anybody else taking a punt?

This is my first attempt at a build. It's the spalted maple thinline tele with black binding (ATL-1SB). Upgraded the bridge with a Wilkinson and the tuners for grovers. The top and neck are natural Tru-Oil finish and the back is 3-4 coats of Feast Watson Black proof tint with Tru Oil. I am pretty happy with the result although I think we could have shut this thread down after those Telemaster pics!

Apologies in advance for poor photos.

Comments on the builds - great to see lots of new builders and builds!

Dedmans WL-1
A nicely turned out axe by Deddy, a very clean look with some cool upgrades. I like the way he has rounded off some of the sharp angles and gave it a smoother look. The color finish is great and the truss rod cover is fun.
Good to see Dedman’s colour palette branching out. Superb job as usual.
Full disclosure, I dislike BC Rich guitars design ethic in general, the Warlock I dislike intensely. Nice finish, the customary Dedman standard has been upheld. i like the jewellery and the little touches which are very Dedman. The lilac is very fifties, not sure it works for me. I get the Theme, it does look like the love child from a sixties love in. Its very Dedman, with those nice little touches he specialises in, executed with aplomb but it just doesn’t do it for me.
At first I was aghast, then I was totally onboard. Bravo Deadman.

Diggydude's TL-1
Well done to Diggy, a classy looking guitar with the gold hardware over the off white body color. An amazing job, seeing as he is still at school and it's his first kit.
Subtle is good. A few paint issues visible on the headstock. Your name up there might have distracted from these.
Very nice, even finish, looks as though there’s a little bubbling on the head stock but on the whole very nicely done. I do like the colour and the combination with the gold hardware, i think it works well and the white pick guard accentuates both colours. The neck finish is very slick, looks nice and fast and playable, though there seems to be a tide line on the neck heel above the pocket? I have to deduct a mark for no logo, something simple, even a signature in gold would have set off the headstock.
Love it! Classic look, understated and elegant. I don’t think I’ve seen this finish before and you have nailed it. Well done.

Bakersdozen's JTL-1
A beautiful natural finish on the ash body. I like the quilted maple neck and fret board. A great job incorporating both head stock shapes into one. Very nice indeed.
That headstock is worth a few extra points alone. A great another great take on this body shape which is starting to sway me away from hating this style.
I love me a naked guitar! The grain filling on this has highlighted some great grain structure. The clear finish looks smooth, consistent and flawless. The scratch plate delete was a great move, freeing up more of that beautiful grain. The dual shape headstock really sets this apart, its a technically fiddly bit of work, which can be derailed by a single router bit grab so kudos on pulling it off in style. Nice simple decals front and back give it a really professional look. The neck plate delete in favour of ferrule is well done also, allowing the eye to wander through all that wood grain. Great upgrades, tastefully done, minimal bling allows the wood to speak to the beholder. Only reservation i have is the neck PUP surround, i don’t think it fits, but it was the best compromise for the P90 hole. Wonderful effort and a very high standard.
Oh my, that is sexy. I struggle to take my eyes off what you’ve done with the Ash body, then I spot the two-face headstock. Incredibly good.

Ozzbike's GPB-4M
Nice work by Oz, the stains he used really brought out the grain. The chrome pick up cover and bridge cover looks amazing against the white pick guard and natural finish.
A workhorse bass. Simple, but the ashtrays add a unique twist.
Another amazing naked build! Once again stunning grain, tastefully highlighted, with some incredible effort in sanding and oiling giving it a magnificent lustre. The added chrome jewellery highlights and augments the wonderful work on the body finish. Nice, understated logo with a wry humour sets off the headstock that little bit. Great selection of upgrades and fittings all of which tie the Bass together really well. A really great job that should be applauded.
Faultless. Beautiful. Seriously, who wouldn’t be drawn to this in a line of Basses at any Retail store. Well done for using the beauty of the raw kit to build a perfect Bass.

Shambrick's TL-1TB
The first thing I notice is the great job with the custom pearloid pick guard, such a great contrast with the blacktop, and the white binding forms a break between the top and the mahogany back and sides. I also like the name "Mongrel Bit caster".
Love the look of this guitar, but I wonder if the pickguard could be shaped differently around the neck pickup. I be happy to own it though.
This is a stunning bit of work, I would walk out of a store with this. Finish is clear and smooth, with shine for DAYS! The customised hardware and scratch plate make this a unique build, and the attention to detail here has been superb. Personalised logos and a wonderful finish to the headstock, really smooth shaped profile. Would have been nice to see the neck carve details mentioned as well. Like the choice of colour scheme, dark face with brown rear and natural/slightly tinted neck. All in all a fantastic job. It ticks all the boxes for me.
Ahhh, just beautiful. No more words, you’ve done well Shambrick, I want this Guitar!

I’ll give it a go's TLA-1
A classic fender color "Surf mist", and the white pick guard really makes that color pop. A fantastic job done by Glynn, looks as he has just unboxed a factory made guitar.
Sea foam Green TL. It’s immediately attractive to me, and looks like you’ve done a great job.
A nice clean, stock TLA-1. Well finished, smooth and clear looking body, nice satin look to the neck again, clear smooth and seemingly flawless. Not sure about the head shaping, each to their own but the line seems to deviate just before the nut. I like the personalised logo, it’s a nice touch and i’m happy to see that Sonic Mountain’s design advice was uptaken. Sea Foam Green is not my favourite colour, but it fits with this build. Really nice work on a first build.
Oh yeah! This is nice. Surf Green Tele… what’s not to like. Great job.

Je11o26's JMA-1
A perfect job airbrushing of Prince, it almost looks like a photo. The metallic purple is just magic with the small Prince logos on the back and pick guard. A very iconic guitar, well done.
Undeniably well done. To me it feels more like a work of art than a usable guitar though.
Not sure if this is a collab build or if all the work was done by Steve? SPEC-TACU-wait for it-LAR paint job. Really nice tribute touches and some serious skill on display. The depth of the flake finish is wonderful and that purple shading is wonderful. Love the logo, love the look of it, not a lot of detail on the specs or the build so kind of hard to judge. I’m going to score it [hidden by mods] /10 just because of the lack of build details.
Yep, you’ve got my vote. A great build…. Prince… Purple… what’s not to like? Love it!

roh's ATL-1SB
Nice work Roh, I am a sucker for natural finishes especially on spalted maple, there is so many different colors and grain shapes which makes each one unique. The black hardware looking good with the black binding. A minor criticism is you are missing a logo on the headstock.
I really like this. If I was going to be picky, I’d probably make the back blacker to match the hardware, but I think this a beautiful guitar.
Nice spalt top with a nice honey coloured finish, the maple board and neck is a stark contrast which clashes a bit for mine. Body seems nicely finished looks smooth, i like the rear colour and the grain lines coming through it. Looks like some unevenness in the rear surface, but that may be down to light angle. Headstock shaping looks good, a slightly tweaked strat shape it could have used a Logo. Its hard to see the neck finish due to the lighting, it would have been nice to see how that came up. A nice tidy first build.
Inspired choice of finish… let the Spalted Maple speak for itself… a beauty.

Mike Gordon's TL-1TH
A very nice, classic sunburst. A great job making the pick up rings and the control panel, then flush mounting the control panel, it must have been very fiddly. Added some after market pick ups and a Bigsby trem. and you have a great guitar, well done.
Another unique guitar. I like the customisation. Quite fond of this.
Some nice personal touches, the pup rings, the logo echoed on the body rear bout. Finish looks like it may have had some issues, doesn’t appear totally clear or buffed? I like the off set neck plate and the recessed control cavity cover, it gives a nice smooth face to the guitar. The LP style switch and surround should be a jarring in consistency but it actually works pretty well against the timber. I like the burst and the overall feel of this build. Another really lovely first build.
Yep, this I likey likey. Good burst with original colours… if I ever get to play the Grand Ol’ Oprey I would like to be playing this Tele. Great build.

Oh wow, what a nice thing to wake up to this morning! This month was such an epic bumper edition, with some absolutely cracking builds that everyone should be super proud of. I honestly didn't know which way it would go this month with judging. Thanks for the great comments and I am totally humbled. This was my third PBG build, with fourth currently underway, and I am consistently learning through practice and the goodwill, guidance, encouragement and advice of everyone on here. Beers or beverages of choice all round.

Congratulations to all the entries, special congrats to BD and Shambrick, two quality builds.
The standard across all of these builds was really high!

Thanks guys. A huge swag if good guitars and I'm delighted with the feedback. Build number 2 (ash strat) underway with my daughter. Straightforward except for body finishing, which will showcase the artistic vision of an up and coming illustrator / animator...

I’ll give it a go
