The Pit Bull Guitars "Community Kit"

[keloooe]

Yeah, the bridge would have to be a roller bridge, it looks pretty cool though!!!!
I agree with TCJ, a Thinline Strat w/ Ebony fretboard and maybe even the block inlays that the Gibson Custom series has on their boards???

[rhay]

I did try to show it as a roller Tune-o-matic (forgot to angle it too).

I have done a little bit of physical mapping and I suspect that the rise and tilt action of the classic "synchronized" tremolo may cause problems. The Bigsby and other Vibramate style bridges typical stretch the strings on the same fixed plane.

I would love to do a Thinline Strat, if there was one available it would be on my list as next. However I can't help but feel that the PitBull guitar should be a custom shape - possibly even more individual than just a mash-up (like my pics).

OH BOY
Maybe a Super Strat with a semi-hollow body?
Alder would be nice, maple neck that gets slightly thinner after the 12th fret
22 frets
Rosewood fingerboard
Only fret inlays being the 2 at the 12th fret
Contoured heel
Tummy cut
Carved top
I think it could be a 'made to order' kinda thing too so the customer can choose to have a flat/carved top or a figured top
Tune-o-matic bridge or a hardtail strat
Drop down menu that lets you choose what colour hardware
H-S-H with coil tapping
5-way switch

With a cutaway cavity at the top.
Remove the jazz style tail piece
Split coil pups
Remove the pick guard

Just wanted to drop in and say this project is still on, but there's been no "YES" moment from the Community. I think we should just leave this thread going and see what comes up, there's no hurry... it's not like we're short on options.

I'm also wary about ordering something that the factory hasn't made and ending up with a large quantity of kits that won't fit together properly.

Are we able to set up a voting pole in a new thread.

We could have a pole to choose a configuration, ss, sss, hsh,hh ect. And one to choose a bridge type.
Once we have that worked out, then anyone could submit body designs to suit that configuration. Then we vote for a design.

Of course we'd have to have enough people commit to purchasing to make it worthwhile for PGB.

Dunno, just throwing ideas out.

Looks a little necro threadish to bring this up again, but the Seymour Duncan forums do this every now and again, resulting in the Brobucker and the Crazy 8 pickups. From memory it was done by poll...
