Hello!
So, my 16 year old son is a major metalhead and a very talented guitarist. He already has a nice 6 string and a nice 7 string guitar. In the never-ending pursuit of heaviness, he decided he wanted an 8 string guitar. Turns out those are generally quite pricey, so instead we bought him the 8 string kit from Pitbull guitars for Christmas. He is thrilled!
We will be posting a build diary as we work through the project. I have a lot of tinkering and woodworking experience, but I have never messed with building instruments. I read through the build guide and it doesn't look too intimidating. His current idea for a color scheme is a very dark gray / black stain with neon green accents. Should be pretty awesome!
Looking forward to working through this project and sharing it with everyone here! Should get the build diary thread started later today.
Thanks!
