The Pit Bull Guitars "Community Kit"

[keloooe]

At least ya get something else to do!!!

I'd be concerned about not pre-drilling the headstock, as I suspect many amateur builders would find it quite difficult to drill 6, 4 or even 3 accurately aligned machine head holes... and that would not be a good way to start a kit. Unless, of course, DB wants to spend all his time drilling and shaping headstocks.

On a side note: reverse headstocks are an abomination and should never been seen, discussed or even considered. The only time an upside down headstock is acceptable is if you are Hendrix playing a righty strung as a lefty

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of reverse headstocks either. Would much prefer a 4/2 or 3/3 headstock. 4/2 would be a point of difference to the other kits.

4/2 sound awesome! Will definitely set this thing out from other Strats in another way!

No reverse headstocks.....

What may be really nice is to position the Pitbull guitar as the goto standard when folk are looking to get more serious about their guitar and guitar building hobby.
This is why I think having a Coil splitting capability or reverse polarity will be good. Combine this with a sexy guitar body and neck and it will be a guitar that everyone will want after trying their hand at some of the standard options.
some nice idea's coming out of the discussion.

Yep, I like the idea of a 4/2 headstock.

All of our kits are either 3+3 or 6 a side. A 4/2 combo will be one point of difference that will add to the uniqueness of the PBF 1...

Hows that for a name Adam? the Pit Bull Forum 1.....

She who must be obeyed WITHOUT EXCEPTION has thrown in a great suggestion, how about a red coral stone inlay logo on the headstock?

[dingobass]

Sigh.... Coil split.... I feel like I have created a monster by posting the article on how to! 8O

I like the idea of a coloured headstock inlay, but you immediately potentially limit the finish and colour options that would work with it... which restricts the customer. Perhaps a more viable option would be to include a custom Pit Bull insignia/logo on the truss rod cover (engraved or printed)? That way you can have something that shows it is the Pit Bull signature model, but that the customer can simply change it if they want something else?

I second that.
