Have seen similar comments on this site and I think people have to understand what these guitars are all about. You get a kit that with a little bit of money you can produce a playable guitar as long as you have basic tools and skill set. Will it play like a $4000 guitar? Not while your posterior points south will it be close but there is also a custom order ability. The wood and kit quality is still the same but you can get what you want at a slightly cheaper price than a full kit.

After seeing some of the recurring problems with glue spots and people sanding through thin veneers I would never buy a kit from here with a veneer so I don't. I only order custom kits with a blank body and neck supplied and I make my own channels and cut-outs. The other thing is if you don't see what you want then you are quite within your rights to look elsewhere. Could they up their information about building a kit as in assembly and wiring? They probably could but just use Google and Youtube and I am sure you will find what you are wanting. I have only used the hardware that comes with these kits once as I wanted to see what it was like. The pickups made a noise as did the pots so I replaced it with better quality items and so I buy custom kits with no hardware.


I have recently bought 2 kits that had problems with quality and I got them as seconds. Thankfully the problems with the kits were over emphasised as when I got them they were, to me, not worth worrying about as they were easy fixes and they didn't effect the sound produced. From what I have seen the Pitbull guys are very reasonable about replacing parts that don't meet what you expect and I think that is one of their biggest qualities and is why people keep buying from this site.

That is what these kits are all about, price. You can get everything from other websites with the quality you want, made from the woods you want and you will pay a much higher price and that is why this website exists as they supply a kit at a very good price. I have looked at other websites and found parts that are of a much higher quality but when I looked at the prices and then compared the parts list with a finished guitar I was better off buying a finished product off the shelf.

If they were to produce premium kits then most of the people, me included, would have to look elsewhere to find a kit that matches our income. If my income matched my ability then I would probably buy a finished Gibson or Fender than build my own. I for one am always thankful that Pitbull exists so I can expand my growing collection, 20 and still growing and my favourite guitars that I like to play are the ones I have made from Pitbull kits.
