Hi folks,
New guy here. Getting back behind strings after a 30yr breakHaven't ordered a kit yet, trying to decide which one :P
I'm a graphic artist so it will probably end up...odd.

Well, I have incredibly wide taste in music (worked in a record shop for years and ran record fairs, yea records, the black round things. ) But I have a thing for dark alt country that spills off into stuff like Nick Cave in one direction and off into some of the newer surf guitar in the other. Was part of the rockabilly thing for a while, but deep down the dark gothy stuff always bubbles to the surface.
So I have a nice shiny new Gretsch Electomatic and a little 20W Vox and was shopping for bits and bobs when I found the PitBull kits. I've painted a few cars and bikes and saya's (katana sheaths) and figured, wtf, I can build a guitar, that will be fun

sounds good Dedman, most people on the forum have a pretty wide variety of music tastes !
So are you after a solid body or semi hollow axe ? there are over 100 different kits to choose from so the range caters for just about everyone
You being a fan of records you could do a tele with a vinyl pickguard and control plate like I did !
