I've received my offset tele kit, start of my build delayed due to other events. Watching your build with interest.
Thanks. Yeah, I am considering going straight for the replacement. Another build, TL-1, I saw found the saddle screws were a different length with replacement bridge. A Wilkinson bridge I bought for...
Just ordered DJT-1 with TL-1 bridge & rosewood fretboard. Black pickguard not available, nor are string ferrules. Will build as string through at first. Then consider making black pickguard, upgrade...
This one, right?

PitBull have said they would supply swapped & with black pickguard....
G'day Craig, one of your photos just confirmed for me that TL-1 kit bridge plates come drilled with both top loading & through body screws, correct? Didn't the kit come with string ferrules though?
Yep, this is why I'm awaiting confirmation the TL-1 bridge plate is drilled for both top loading & string through. So I can get scale length spot on with top loading, mark through holes for string...
Reason I want the TL-1 plate is that photos suggest it has both top loading & string through holes. Plan would be to use as top loader initially, then when happy with bridge location convert to...
I've emailed Pitbull, just waiting to hear back. The DJT-1 is an offset tele, isn't it?
I was looking through the Pitbull website, these are offset teles, right? Do they come with the same bridge plate as the TL-1, which appears to have holes for either through body or rear string...
I was about to start a build diary for my 24" scale neck from DMS-1 kit on custom body & found the page for DMS-1 kits has been removed. Hope it is only temporary, anyway ...
A while back I made an...
A preventative tip from woodworking. Apply finish (& allow to dry) before gluing to the surfaces immediately around the glue joint. Keep the glue surfaces raw as normal for glue adhesion. Wipe excess...
I've not made a kit, but I have made a scratch built body. From that experience I would have thought it better the bridge holes not be drilled at all. Then they can be drilled to suit intonation &...
Titebond original is good, but it is a Aliphatic resin emulsion, rather than a PVA. From what I've read it is a better adhesive for guitars than PVA.
See this...
Was browsing, just bought a DMS-1 neck, saw these -

- how much are they?
This is it right?

My interest is piqued.
Hi OliSam, I'm making a short scale guitar( http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=116360&start=30 ), considering a Pitbull DMS-1 maple neck for the final build. Wonder what is your...

I've made a custom body using a sacrificial Squier Bullet Mustang.

Happy with the result so ready to move to the next...
Red Cactus, I'm thinking Mustang HH option also. Want to see if I can do it with 24.75" scale neck though, something like a Toronado.
So I've been lurking a bit & have a better idea what I might want to eventually build. Wondering what feedback the forum experience might be able to provide.
Plan is an offest body, 2 humbuckers,...
G'day, was told about Pitbull Guitars by a local luthier today. Sounds interesting. The choice of guitars is a bit overwhelming though. Does Pitbull do an Ibanez S series clone, prefer fixed bridge,...
