Who needs Gav when you got Brendan! Reading the post I was thinking exactky what Brendan has already mentioned! Seems like you are in good hands here! My work is done!

Maybe one of our guys who works with CNC machines can throw some light onto this?

There are two ways this can happen. First way is the file used to cut the body is wrong, but since Gavin said his was ok, chances are the cutter being used in the machine is a slightly smaller diameter than the one the file is set up for.

Btw, I've had the same problem with my brother's es-1g. I very carefully took a couple of mm off the mounting part of the pick up.

Hey skfhooper, I have certainly taken your comments on board and have contacted the supplier to let them know about this issue with the undersized routs. Actually, they've been pretty good so far, we asked them not to use their wood filler and the guitars I've seen in this new consignment, I haven't spotted any wood filler, or holes for that matter.

So, again, sorry you got some kits with a few issues, but you did have the option of sending them back and having them replaced, at no cost to you. This is clearly explained on our site's refund policy http://pitbullguitars.com/?page_id=17.

Cheers

Downside is Adam that you get a bit attached to a lump of wood - even with it's knocks and bumps...

I understand Brendan, I'm certainly attached to my wood.

Thanks Brendan. Looks like it will help a lot!

Here's the latest shot, masking off

Really looking forward to seeing the end result, neat.

Well, this is disappointing

Hi SFK,

I have just spoken to Adam. He feels like I do that this kit really needs to go back to the factory with a "Please explain". We know that you have already done a fair amount of work on the body so our suggestion is that you only send back the neck to us.

We are horrified that this neck seems to have passed the Quality Control function at the factory and while this doesn't help your current situation we still offer you our apologies for this failure.

Please send the neck back to us at:

Pit Bull Guitars
Unit 7, 500 Beaufort Street
Highgate WA 6003
AUSTRALIA

Not that we'd miss it, but for Phils' benefit please include your name and address as sender.

We will refund your postage costs and we will arrange to have a replacement neck sent out to you as quick as we can. Please let us know if this solution is not acceptable.

Once again our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
