We can offer all the same options; set/bolted, Humbuckers/P90's, Quilted/Flamed/Spalted veneers, and Black, Chrome Gold hardware.

Hopefully we will have these available in November.


Can I also take this opportunity to say: there is no lawsuit, no "protracted legal case" (as I read on Facebook the other day). Neither Gibson nor their lawyers have ever contacted Pit Bull Guitars. We sought our own, independent advice and, on that advice, we decided that the safest option would be to no longer offer LP kits on our site. In short, our decision to remove LP kits was proactive, not reactive.
I'm not sure how I feel about that shape. It's like a mix between a t and an lp, and it doesn't quite sit well with me. Might be bitter with an arch top though, will have to see.

Also, another good option for an lp style shape would be the ibanez or jackson versions of the single cut. I think the ibanez ones are similar to the lp thickness wise, but different horn and maybe some bevelling somewhere. Ibanez neck joint, etc.

I am curious how a lp would be with a tummy, arm and heel access cut. Might look a bit wack though with the arm one especially. But, good options for making that 10%. Though making it work with an arch top and a veneer isn't probably doable
