I stumbled across PitBull guitars some months ago now as a result of some online ads. I've always been skeptical about kit guitars because i've not always heard great things about their quality.
A couple of years ago I came across some Fender workshop drawings, and at the time worked 24/7 with CNC machines so couldn't say no and decided to replicate a David Gilmour black strat.
I no longer work within an industry where such tools are readily available.
Anyways, I decided to take the plunge and get myself a 7-string, as i've wanted one for a while and was feeling the urge to build myself another guitar - two birds..



Safe to say I'm really impressed with the kit - On closer inspection there were some minor issues, however i've seen some post images of damage sustained through postage and feel mine did well on the way over from Australia.
A few minor marks on the back but nothing a damp cloth and soldering iron couldn't fix.



An obscene amount of sanding later and it was ready for the grain filler...



Wish i'd thinned the grain filler a little more and did a thinner coat. MORE SANDING!



I don't think I took a photo of anything once the filler was sanded back, so here's a photo of the body after a few coats of stain.



Also came across this minor issue whilst staining the side. Not sure why this has happened, but decided to go darker around the side, which covered this quite nicely.
