Non-Pitbull Guitar builds

Hi all!

So I have a few kits which aren't from PG and I'd like to have somewhere to document their builds. I like this forum and the feedback on it so would like to post the builds here.
So I'm not really sure what the rules are about posting this sort of thing, particularly in the build diaries section. Is it ok or is there a better place. The Non-Pitbull Gear section I guess would be the second contender. But it's not really specific to builds, in fact not really for builds at all.
Thoughts?

I'm with Kuan - would be good if there was a specific Non-PBG Guitar Builds sub-forum rather than lumping them into the gear forum.

We've already got enough sub-forums here. It's confusing enough as it is. It really needs a good cull of the little-used forums, and moving their content into other ones.

Yep. Which is actually why I'd rather just have a single build diary section. And why I'm asking if it's ok to post non-PBG kit builds. I'd be happy to not say where the kit is from.

I think restauranteurs should provide seating for the non-punters to chow down on their big macs and whoppers.

cheers, Mark.

Lol. To be fair, the reason it's called Build Your Own guitar and not just the Pitbull forum is to welcome builds from all over the place. You definitely don't have to be building exclusively Pitbull kits to post here at all.

To me it really doesn't matter where anything is posted, because I, like most other frequent visitors, just click on the 'new posts' tab when I come here. So I see everything regardless of where it is. Keeping things in the correct section theoretically should make it easier to find when you go looking for it later, but I do find that there is more than once place some things can be posted in so searching for something you've seen previously can be difficult if you don't remember details like who posted it.

I had thought so too. But the Build Diaries are within the "Pitbull Guitars Exhibition Centre" section.

I generally use Tapatalk so there's no such "new posts" tab. Best I could do is subscribe to every section and I'd then get notifications.

Hmm, I see. I tired Tapatalk and didn't like it. I just use the web version and pinch and zoom. I spend a lot of time on a desktop PC so I don't really use my phone to post.

Hey! On Tapatalk if you go the ‘discussions’ section at the bottom you’ll see the ‘new posts’ option - additionally there’s an ‘unread’ section where you can just subscribe to the threads you’re interested in and it tells you when someone has posted something new and a ‘subscribed’ section where you can find your favourite posts whether they’ve been updated or not.

This seems to be the way that most of the really helpful and experienced people (not me!) navigate the site, so you won’t miss any awesome advice!

In addition check out the ‘non-Pitbull guitars’ section in the ‘non- Pitbull guitars forum’, there is heaps of build diaries - both kit and scratch - in there.

Edit: fixing last tip- it was NQR

Correct - I've discussed this with Adam previously - Ads wanted to provide a safe place for builders of all kits. We'd love people to be building PBG kits, but there have been non PBG builds previously and no one has any issues with it.

I'll have a look at how we can streamline some of the forums and provide space to be a bit freer.
