About a month ago I ordered my ES kit, but it was out of stock. At work I would bang on about how excited I was to receive it etc and a co-worker sussed out the Pit Bull facebook page and was lucky enough to be the 200th fan and therefore won the LP-1 prize! She then gifted it to me as a sign of thanks for something else, so suddenly I ended up with two pit bull guitar kits!
Out of the box, nothing was missing, some grub/grime on the body but that came off pretty easy. There was a few miniscule chips around where the neck fits into the body, I simply filled them in with some liquid wood filler, and sanded the residue back to a flat finish (see photos).
I would love for this guitar to be a sister to my hollow gretsch knock off, so red it is. I would like to get a similar red tone to it (see photos), maybe with a more fuller, solid finish.
Sanding back the rest of the body starts the weekend!
I aim to work on this parallel to my ES kit
