My second Pit Bull build has started, this time using an ST-1 kit as a basis.
The concept here is another satin black beastie inspired by the notorious Nighthawk Stealth fighter.
All black hardware, tuners & furniture etc. have been acquired and are ready to fit.
Guitar will feature a radical headstock, pitch black fretboard, moderately radical body and a few other things still swirling around in my tragic head.
Otherwise the set-up will be more or less standard Strat with 3 single coil PU's but I will most likely delete the tone controls.
Pics:
(1) Blacking the fretboard using plotter ink then polishing with carnauba wax. Note masking punch outs to preserve white position dots.
(2) The body of the matter in its first stage. It will be quite heavily chamfered before any finishing work begins.
(3) Headstock diagram - stock will be "hollow" with 3x3 tuners set at right angles to it somewhat like an old style banjo head.
More soon
