    First build - offset Tele

    This is my first build. I did strip and mod a guitar last year for my son and really enjoyed it. I saw the offset tele style kit and I wanted to give one a go as I have seen a few custom builds I liked that had the same template. The body had some problems but Pitbull were great and offered a good discount or full refund. I took the discount as I have already got a lot of the hardware; wilkinson bridges (chrome and black) and some yosemite pups. Will start the build diary soon and I am having a good time with it. Also have since got an ash Strat kit from Pitbull for my son. This kit looks great. I have learnt heaps from looking at the forums here so will share my journey.

    So far going well. I have learnt a lot about early prep but I am also super happy with the result for a first try.

    Best to start a separate build diary in the build diary section (link below) for photos etc.

    https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...splay.php?f=56

    You'll get more people viewing and it's where (just about) all the other builds are detailed.

    I've received my offset tele kit, start of my build delayed due to other events. Watching your build with interest.

    I have finally got back to doing some work on the kit. I have moved to the build diary forum.
