The kid from Dee Why,first build.

Will be receiving a TL-H1 tomorrow from PBG. Can't wait to get started. My main goal is to have a hot humbucker rocker,never owned a Tele and LP's are not my bag. Not really looking for a pretty guitar,just something that will kick ass at my local blues jam and something that will cost as little as possible. Have bought some tuner up grades and some hot mini humbuckers,that will be the only money I will spend on it. The rest will be done with what ever I can find in the garage. Have scrolled through the build diaries and the skill and knowledge there is priceless. Will start a build diary soon,thank you PBG and ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome Billy and wishing you lots of luck with your first build.

Cheers, Waz

I'm going to need it.

Help is never too far away on this forum. The TL looks like an easy kit. Did the scratch plate come pre-wired up? If it did that is a handy reference point for when you get around to swapping out the standard pickups.

Haven't received the kit yet,don't think so. I'm thinking of one volume and one tone,or even just one volume,so will have to make a new scratch plate will use the kit one for a template. First built my mantra will be keep it simple stupid.

You could always leave four knobs on top and just wire up how many you want to use.

Thought about that too. Think I'll change the pick guard.

Trickier job than it looks cutting and shaping an acrylic scratch plate and it may be hard finding a ready made replacement with just 2 holes for control knobs.

If you really want to go down that path forum member Pablo Pepper is the person to contact as he can custom make those things at a reasonable price.

Nice one billy, oh and welcome to the forum.

Welcome Billy!

welcome to the forum Billy, so is this the kit you have ordered TL-1H https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/...ic-guitar-kit/ ?

great looking kit. Take your time and ask lots of questions and you will end up with a cool looking and sounding axe !

A big welcome to the forum to you Billy, will be interested in seeing how your guitar build goes, be sure to start a build diary when you start work on your guitar kit, and have fun too.

Welcome aboard Billy. Keep in mind that once you start building and modding, the ideas just keep coming. Always good to take time to plan ahead for any possibilities. Never know when you might want to put in some push/pull switches, coil splitting, pickup upgrades, phasing options, etc,etc,etc. Good luck and will love to see the build diary.

That's the one mate. Thanks for the advice and support.

Thanks for the pleasant greetings will start my diary soon. You've all giving good advice. 👍

Welcome to the Forum Billy, enjoy your first build

Welcome Billy!
