Still not as dark as my orange necked "Eric Johnson" strat!

Those cool staggered height Kluson style tuners eradicate the need for string trees 😊

Thanks Waz. Yes however I'm lucky in that I have a Tele Squier to use as a guide.

I think Waz was referring to the body paint....but then again I'm easily confused.

cheers, Mark.

You did a great job shaping that headstock. It's equal parts tele-inspired and original at the same time!

Thanks trv. Yeah I wanted to add a slightly 'curvier' aspect without deviating far from the original idea.
cheers, Mark.

The end is nigh.
Last remaining items finally arrived: brass nut, string through ferrule and the Tonerider bridge pickup.

Thanks Guv, I have since noted that between the Tonerider Pickup and Wilkinson bridge...neither include the mounting screws/springs. Doh!!

cheers, Mark.

Edit: Further exploration of the Tonerider box revealed

Normal programs returned to schedule...phew!

Well the end has arrived. My first Pitbull kit is completed.
Thanks to the many folks that have posted build diaries that made the process so much easier.
Even though some steps required re-doing, I have certainly learned a great deal.

Yep, even the decal had to be re-done.

I'll try to get some better shots when this Melbourne wintery blast has subsided.
