Thanks for that direction, Simon. A little more than I'm capable of doing now, but it's always good to have a detailed reference for the future. And DB: There's a fair bit of sloppiness with the...

Thanks for that direction, Simon. A little more than I'm capable of doing now, but it's always good to have a detailed reference for the future. And DB: There's a fair bit of sloppiness with the...
That is...very interesting. To be honest, pop in humbuckers & a different paint and I would be all over that.
Wow, thanks for that article! Just saved me at minimum $45 (USD). At least for right now/until I set aside enough for a full set up. Turns out the PBG I got (EXG-1) has some wicked back-bow. Nothing...
High School sport. I did collegiate wrestling (varsity) in High School.
Let's see:
loose ligaments in both shoulders, knees, and wrists. (had shoulder surgery my junior year)
nerve damage in left (fretting) hand due to above genetic condition + H.S sport injury (caused...
I agree. CS and PR can be great, but once stuff starts hitting the fan...THAT'S when you want to see good CS.
Although it still sucks because I really wanted that 7 string. Won't be able to get it...
Haha, the consolation is I'm keeping it. Just put on a new set of strings and will properly intonate after I eat.
Was handled well, as Stan said it would. It's a shame it had to be handled in the...
Took me about 6 or 7 days with a holiday in the middle of it to get it via USPS. Same city.
Yup. First thing I noticed when I opened the box...a white pickguard. Counted the strings and it's missing one. I've sent an email and FB PM.
*side small note: didn't even have the Ernie Ball...
So I got my first Pitbull guitar *a finished one* in the mail. It's a nice guitar...except I ordered one different than the one I got.
So to be a technical valid thread: My feedback is that...
What about Star Wars combined WITH skulls? Darth Nihilus!
Depending on which side of the Force you agree with, perhaps have the creed on the back "Peace is a Lie" (I also have that entire thing...
Heya Vince.
Nice seeing another US builder here (I see store names I've never heard of being mentioned). I know what you mean about the cold winters. Isn't easy in the midwest this time of year...
I always do love a DIY challenge. Maybe a stand/rack with 2-3 Explorer/V capable slots, and 2-3 standards.
Thanks, Simon! I play, and prefer, chugga chugga. Tusq it is.
I've seen the pickups with the pentagram on them before. Never heard what they sound like though. One thing I'm thinking of changing when it arrives is the nut. Probably one of the cheapest changes I...
I've seen somewhat similar builds on instructables. Nothing that fancy, but might be worth looking into.
Thought of concern: Would an Explorer styled guitar work as easy? Due to the body I'd think...
I owned 1 Gibson since I started playing some years back. Was a Faded Explorer (thus rather budget-ish model). Personally? It was a great guitar. However so was the Dean "Angel of Deth" I owned. Or...
Hey Dean, welcome to the forum!
I'm new here too.
Also: Please tell me you will name your builds after your account. One can be called the "Manslaughter", "Insanity Plea", etc.
I'm sketching and planning on cutting my own pickguard(s) from my own created templates & blanks. More ability to customize and (hopefully) less unpleasant surprises.
I also know the exact Ibanez...
It completely helps.
I've only owned one 7 string before and it was a shoddy mess (haven't owned a Jackson since). I'm in the same category in basically all of what you are. I always gravitate...
Welcome, Eric!
Savor the time spent working on the guitar. Every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears (most likely from the same cause as the blood) will make the journey more memorable and end result...
Thanks for posting this. I actually just ordered an EX-7 (satin black). Should be mailed out today.
Are there any mods you think you're going to do to it?
Any more detailed info for a review?...
Hey Simon:
Thanks for the info with actual numbers. Much more tangible than just hearing "it can't be cold".
I actually happen to have access to a large, heated, and well ventilated building should...
I wouldn't really call it a build :D more so a premade that I plan on modding quite a bit and tinkering with.
I'm thinking that when the EX Kits are in stock and ready to ship, I make one in a...
Hi, I'm Raz (aka Chris); from Chicago, IL.
Just signed up, and just ordered my first Pit Bull Guitar (alas, not a kit as the one I want is estimated to be ready near February, and patience is NOT...
