First Pit Bull guitar build and very happy with quality. Tru-oil finish only on body, Walnut stain (also by Birchwood Casey) then Tru-oil on maple neck, boiled linseed oil on fretboard. Swapped standard white pickguard and chrome hardware for black and gold respectively. Looks a bit yellowish due to lighting but it's very much chocolate brown and light brown striped.
Looks great!

Thanks John!I don't know why the pics can't be enlarged though as the thumbnails are too small!
Looks gorgeous! I'm not usually a big fan of gold hardware, but it works so well on this build
Thank you! I agree, you almost never see gold hardware on the rack in a guitar shop for a reason (too pretentious?) but I figured for a DIY build and with the dark colours, why not?!
reposting with higher res pics. I hope this looks better!
