Hey everyone,

I purchased the ST-1 Ash Strat model off Pitbull. Been looking at various kits, and decided to try a build on one of their entry level kits. I’m going to use this Build Diary forum to document my process, and my mistakes as a reference for future builds I have in mind. Feel free to follow along and provide any pointers or questions you may have.

First up, I’ve always been an acoustic guitar guy (currently own 9 of them) and they all run in different tunings. The only electric guitar I own is an Epiphone Dot 335. So this Strat is my jump in to understanding all the finer details that make up an electric guitar.

Originally, the plan was to create Excalibur from Waynes World, the “oh yes, she will be mine” Strat in Olympic White. Since then, I’ve set my sights on creating more of what I would want in a Strat.

So the tentative plan is finish the guitar in Sage Green Metallic with a gloss clear coat finish.

We’ll see how close i get to this.
