    Hello,

    I'm new to this site and thought I might share my newly built and carved st-1 Pitbull guitar, I tried to keep it simple for my first electric guitar but still have a Maori feel to it with the spirals (koru) incorporated into it, the spiral (koru) represents growth, peace and tranquility among other things which I think fits it well, with the growth of leaning to play the instrument in its different forms to feeling peace and tranquility while playing it.
    I have attached a couple of photos of the finished guitar hope you like it.
