    Hello from Europe!

    Hey guys,

    I'm the clueless newbie from Europe.

    I recently started to pick up the guitar again (after almost 20 years...) due to acute lockdown boredom. I used to be an avid player as a kid and teenager but I stopped playing when I moved out to go to university... So.. been dragging my guitar along every time I moved flats but haven't really touched it to play until recently.

    So after having almost no work during lockdown, I really felt the urge to do something with my hands, and some how this lead me through a crazy internet journey finally landing me here.

    I have ordered 3 kits from 3 places and now I'm patiently waiting for them to show up on my door.

    As I have no practical experience in this, and also no woodworker person around to ask, I guess I will ask a lot questions here

    No idea what the outcome of this crazy journey will be, but I actually hope for a guitar

    So cheers folks, please don't get mad at me if I ask dumb questions ;-)
    I don't know what I'm doing but I hope I will end up with a guitar

    Welcome!

    Just remember that the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

    Ha, me too. I actually have no idea what I'm doing there, but I have an idea how it should look in the end ;-)

    Question: Is the build diary section for pitbull guitar kits only? I ordered one from them, but as it's on back order AND I don't want to mess it up, I thought I'd start with a simple and cheap one from eBay first. To get a little practice and stuff...

    Kits and builds from other places seem to go in the Non-Pit Bull Guitars Gear section.

    Thank you. I hope my PitBull kit will arrive soon, it's gonna be June I guess, but I'm looking forward to it!
