Hello

Hi there,
I'm Dave, from Boston, MA. I built guitars, mostly from scratch, for several years and took a hiatus. Now, I'm back! I bought a Pitbull RCA-4 kit to get back into the swing of things with a kit... Hopefully, I do it justice!

Im sure Ill be around,
D

Hi Dave and welcome.

Hey Dave, welcome along. We would love to see some of your previous builds. Have fun!

welcome Dave, I'm also interested to see any pics of your scratch builds please !

You should rock out the RCA-4, you staining it or solid colour ?

Welcome Dave

Thanks everyone. On the RCA-4, Im going to stain.. Im planning on hand carving into the top, ala Lemmy.. I have some other plans as well. It will definitely be unique. I have 2 of my builds here. Ill snap some pics soon. One is a '52 Tele in butterscotch blonde, made from solid swamp ash. the thing weighs a ton. I used a replacement neck on that one.. Cant remember where I got the neck from. The other is an Explorer style body, made from Alder, with a figured Sapele top. I used a BC Rich neck on that one. Im very scared to build a neck! All pictures of the actual build processes, are buried in a box somewhere.. that was before I had a camera in my pocket all the time! Others I built, are long gone. I may be able to dig out pictures of those someday.. One was a Duosonic/Mustang type guitar with an original fender neck.. that was a nice one.. I gotta have pics of that....

Here's a link to some pics. As my wise father once said (God rest his soul).."If there weren't any f#ckups, you wouldn't know you did it yourself".. I definitely did these myself! lol.. Enjoy.. Oh, and please ignore the dust!!!!
