I found Pitbull on youtube when looking for ideas on what finish to do on a Tele kit that I got from another supplier and since then have purchased PBH-4 and STA-1 kits, all three of these kits have either received aftermarket pups and bridges or will do because the STA isn't here yet but will be getting some very nice Seymour Duncans that I have sitting on the shelf.
The STA is a birthday present, my kids asked me what I wanted and I said money because I was going to try and hunt down a CV Squier Strat when OS in March but decided to go the kit route again so that I didn't waste time searching for something that may not even be in stock over there.
Bottom line is that with each of these kits I have exactly what I wanted at a more than fair price and have the pleasure of playing something that I made myself which has been set up physically and sonically to suit my taste.
In the case of the STA it is on special so for $150 + finish and the pups I already own so I will have something that would have cost over $500 if I could find that Squier CV. ( which still would have got the SD pups )
Next cab off the rank will be a GR-1SF which is an absolute bargain even if I do splash out on a set of TV Jones pups when compared to a genuine Falcon.
The market is what it is and ultimately it will dictate a price which hopefully will allow PBG to remain solvent to support our addiction.
