It has happened again - another Pitbull box found its way under my Christmas tree. This time I've scored a TL-1Tb with gold hardware. My intention is to stain the back of the body in a dark brown stain, the top and neck will be clear. I will use tru-oil for the top coats. I will change the pickguard to a red tortoiseshell
After a mock build I have:
Sanded the back of the body up to to 240g. The front and the neck I have gone up to 400g.
Cut and sanded the headstock.
Levelled, filed and polished the frets.
4 coats of tru-oil to the maple fret board and top of the body. (the last picture was after the first coat)
