@ Ricardo: nice clean lines with a customised scratch plate to set things off.
@ RosscO: What glue marks? Can't see any in those shots. On the back is that ply wood used for control covers instead of the plastic ones? Overall looks good.

Yes, just some 3mm ply, didn't stain, just some runny timbermate and tru-oil. Think I'll sand back and Stain, see if I can get the colour to match better (sometime).
Time to flesh out this GOTM with one more!
Heres a link to my build diary:- http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=6671
I think this is the first Pitbull STA-1HT!
I've ironed out all of the kinks and she plays like a dream. The Hardtail gives a rich warm bodied sound compared to a trem strat.
Kit: Pitbull STA-1HT
Tuners: Grover Mini Locking Rotomatics (kit upgrade)
Pickguard: All parts black 3 ply
Knobs etc: All parts parchment
Pick ups: Tonerider Classic Blues
Body Stain: Ebony Timbermate grain fill with Dingotone Custom Colour - Rosewood
Neck Stain: Dingotone clear neck finish
Body and Neck finish: Tru oil

Fantastic looking strat. Colours amazing.
awesome work as always Andy, another stunning build, well done. Looks like a good month as this is only the 4th entry and last day tomorrow !
I just seen the other 2 entries since I last looked, well done Ricardo and Rossco both top looking builds
Looking good Andy.
Even with only 4 builds i still wouldn't want to be judging. Rossc0's LP is SWEEEEEEET but Andy's ST is a Peach. Logan'S IB is killer and i'm still gobsmacked with Ricardo's beautifully clean and elegant LP salvation job. Tough call all round!
Ok I'm not expecting much but I just finished my first kit and thought what the heck.. so here you go..
Kit- TL1-Q
Tuners- wilkinson quick locks
Pickups- guitarfetish humbucker and hot tele bridge
Pickguard- white pearloid
Bridge- guitar fetish individual saddle tele string thru
Brass compensated nut bought from online
Upgraded pots and switch with quick plug from guitar fetish
Abalone inlaid knobs from GUitar Fetish
Custom water slide decal from Ekraft in Argentina

Complete fret levels and finish by me.
I think that about covers it.
