    DTL-1 Tele kit build

    Hi Guys, I am busy building a DTL=1 kit, 1st Pitbull kit I have done and the second kit I have built. The first on was an LP from Artist guitars and now this one.

    Changes to the kit were the grover tuners, bone nut, tone rider pickups, upgraded switches using sixstringsupplies 5 position switch wiring, gotoh brass compensated saddles.
    Belly cut and arm rest on the body and had to widen the pot cavity for the bigger pot. Also drilled the body for string through ferrules,
    The neck is finished and I am really happy with the way it turned out, body is stained but still needs to have clear coat sprayed.
    I will have to figure out how to resize my pics so that I can put them up here Click image for larger version.

    I will have to figure out how to resize my pics so that I can put them up here
    If you're running Windows, you resized in "Paint" or the "Photos" app in Win 10 will do it too.
    Max allowed size is 1500 x 1500 pixels.

    Look forward to seeing your build. Also interested in what you think of the AG kit you did. You can post pics of that in the "Non-Pitbull Guitars Gear" forum if you wish to share.

    Cheers,
    Mick

    Wow, that looks great! Nice work.

    That neck almost looks like roasted maple. Hope it plays as great as it looks too!
