Hi All
This is my first Pit Bull kit (but not my first kit build). Ordered the kit in July 2019 but it was on back-order so I have had to wait until now for it to be delivered. On first inspection it looks like it was worth waiting for.
Body and neck both seem pretty good. I have had to drill a hole from the body cavity to the input jack hole since that wasn't there. I have also had to widen the channel for the pup wires through to the body cavity as the bridge pup didn't sit properly when I did the trial assembly. Neck is not as tight in the pocket as I would like but I can soon shim that.
Started work on the neck today. It had a pretty big back bow so a bit of truss rod adjustment needed to get it flat. Then I levelled the frets, and crowned and polished them. Then cleaned everything up and finished with a little fretboard oil to make it all look nice. Very pleased with the results.
Current plan is for a black metallic finish. Also looking to fit a pick guard if I can design a shape I like. Not sure whether to change the pups at this stage - I might just see how the ones supplied sound first.
