Hi everyone. I've never built a guitar before (or played one very well) but thought it looked fun and liked the idea of having one that I had personalised. The first hard decisions were which one to get and how I might finish it. I settled on the Pitbull PRS-1F, really liked the shape the specs seem great too. And I decided that a large bottle of tru-oil should get a pretty good finish on the whole guitar if I take my time.
Trial fitting things had me very impressed with the kit but also revealed that I should of bought neck glue (I had been considering several kits and convinced myself I was buying a bolt on neck kit!).
O well. While I wait for the glue to arrive I'll get a bit of practice with the tru-oil.
Then I plan to check the scale length, glue the neck, and then get back to the oil. Hopefully 20 - 30 coats will bring the flame top up nicely.
Can any of you spot any problems with this plan yet? If so I'd be happy to hear about it before I do anything too stupid!
Cheers
Phil
