    First Pitbull Kit. FTD-1M

    HI Guys & Gals. Just finished my FTD-1M kit. This kit was a gem to build. As i'm in the UK had to use Crimson Guitar dyes for the colour with 15 coats of poly on the top. Wiring a bit tricky to install but not too bad. Guitar plays well through a Maui 5 amp via a Zoom G5 board. Guitar set with a lowish action and gives great sustain. Would definitely recommend this kit.

    As a fellow U.K. resident do you mind if I ask, did you get hammered with with customs charges as well when your kit arrrived?

    Yeah, tax + customs charges + extra postal handling fee. It's quite a chunk to factor in.
    Worth it though
