Hello All,
I last visited this place about a year ago with the build of my first kit geetar, an ATL-1SW which I still play and love.
This forum was very helpful with techniques and suggestions so I am back again.
Not with my second build as I have completed three other non Pitbull guitars in the last year.
This will be my fifth and sixth as will be made clear in a mo.
As my last build was coming to an end I thought 'just one more' and was looking for something unusual.
I came across the Pitbull GPR-1M which had an odd body shape, some nice binding and two f holes.
That'll do me I thought and ordered one.
It arrived in about a week to the UK which I thought was good going.
On inspection there were a few issues with the kit.
The binding had broken where it joins the lower neck and had been replaced with filler.
As the binding is quite wide this would have been very obvious.
There were no holes for the bridge or stoptail and the gold hardware ranged from 'fresh' to 'old'.
Hmmmm.....I took some pics and sent them that evening to Pitbull with a (I hope) nice covering email.
The next day I woke to find an email from Ben apologising and saying that another kit had been shipped to me.
The second kit arrived in six days with no duty, VAT or delivery to pay.
On inspection the binding was OK, four holes in the body and hardware that was a similar colour. Hooray !
I can't thank the boys at Pitbull enough, no quibbles etc, just sent another kit all the way to the UK.
Excellent customer service from them so well done chaps.
Ben said it was too expensive to return the kit when I asked and suggested that I practice on the duff one
and give it away which is exactly what I will do.
I know someone locally who would be thrilled to receive a guitar even if it has been assembled by me !
