Thread: Explorer kit with a veneer

    Explorer kit with a veneer

    I've been looking to build an explorer kit with a burled ash or flamed maple veneer without a pick guard for quite some time now, but i can't seem to find anything that looks nice. I'm planning on buying the Pitbull EXM-1 soon but i was wondering if a kit with a veneer is possible?

    You might send a message to Tim with what you are looking for. I don't know if he's able to do special orders yet, but it never hurts to ask for what you'd like. Meanwhile, I think the EXA-1 kits are ash. Not as nicely figured as flamed maple, but more figured than basswood. Tim is who answers when you write to service@pitbullguitars.com ;-)

    +1 for reaching out to Tim.

    Unfortunately, I think the EX-1 type kits are also on the "banned list"!

    Scratch Builds: Pine Explorer, Axe Bass, Mr Scary, Scratchy Tele's.

    The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"

    Unfortunately, it looks like the EX-1 type kits have also been added to the "banned list." It’s a shame, as they had a lot to offer, but it seems like they’re no longer allowed.

    The banned list is a shame! Can you do a scratch build?
