New member, first question.
There are no pre drilled holes for the bridge and saddle of my guitar. This is different from the image shown on the website , see here: https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/...ood-fretboard/
is this normal or should i drill these holes myself?
It’s not normal. The first kits of this type came out a few years ago without them and were withdrawn from sale for not having the holes (as well as coming with the wrong wiring harness and non-splittable pickups). If the top was flat, then you could have a reasonable go at doing the holes yourself, but because of the arched top, you either need to
make some complicated jigs so you can drill level, or have a large drill press with a throat big enough to reach across the body. It’s still quite a tricky process to get right.
Email Pitbull with a picture and they’ll probably send you another kit without having to return that one (as it’s pretty useless as it is). But they really should be checking the kits a bit more thoroughly before sending them out.
