Hi all,
I came back from holiday yesterday with a nice Pit Bull box at work, so first thing you have to do is a quick mock build and take some photos.
I'm stoked with the grain of these bodies, would be great if Pit Bull could release more models in ash !
Seems like there's going to be at least 3 forum members building an IB-5 this month !
I was planning to finish this in amaranthine wudtone but I had a middle of the night thought lastnight ama is too dark and would hide some of the lovely grain of the ash, so I will probably finish it in carmine gypsy or cherry flamenco, depending which I have more of.
So sanding tonight and hope to get 1st deep coat on Saturday. Will probably colour the headstock the same and may try a colourless neck should go well with a red body/headstock.
As DB and Gav says, you can never have too many projects on the go at once !

Mine arrives today or Monday!!!!

...and second the motion on the Ash!
-
cool good stuff Gav, so does that make 4 x IB-5 current builds ?
Yes maybe we could convince Adam to ask the factory to trial an ashwood Strat kit ? I'd pay extra for that !
What colour have you got in mind for your IB-5 Gav ? would be good if we did different colours. Conch girl ?

Man that Ash looks amazing! Make that 3 for more Ash bodies!! I'd be 1/2 tempted to go colourless (or even (gasps) Tru Oil!) for the body as well - just let it do the talking...
-
Looks awesome. Will be following along with interest.
-
Me up against FOUR IB-5's..... Holy $#!T this will be difficult to pull off!!! Might hold it back again....
-
Pest,
You could do that, but given the bar rises month on month, I think it may also be worth rushing it into production!
-
yes Pest, don't hold back as Brendan said the bar is being raised every month. What if the judge is a LP player and he hates bass guitars ? haha
I won't be entering the IB-5 till probably September, I hope to have the SGD ready for August GOTM.

Pest, it's too easy for you if you enter this month....
All you gotta do is beat this!
:)
...and Wokka's entry!
Woks, planning on Dark Onyx at the mo...
