As a Moderator, and as somebody that can effect changes, I thing it would be in not only your best interest, but PitBull kits in general, if you made a sticky , in quite a bit more detail, on the possible challenges a builder might face regarding neck relief/fretting.

I, and I gather you would also know, that any freshly made guitar neck needs some settling time after being fretted.
They will usually tension the truss rod a bit higher than needed to make sure the frets don't pop out while in storage/freight/humidity conditions....fair enough....but KIT BUILDERS NEED to have this known to them, and on the best course of action on how to fix it....I haven't seen a sticky alerting people to this....it should be included with all KIT's IMHO, with a link to the forum on what to do.

You mean like this sticky "Levelling your Frets" which is part of another sticky "How to build your Pit Bull Guitar" which was posted in March 2013.

In the first post on the thread we confirm :-

"First step in the process is to make sure the neck is dead straight, otherwise its a pointless exercise. Use a straight edge or naked eye if you don't!"
