Greetings,
I have finally taken the plunge and purchased an ST-1M kit that hopefully arrives tomorrow. Why? I have been playing the guitar for a few years now and have always had a plan in buying a Fender Strat with maple neck. However without the required funds to purchase the Eric Clapton signature version, I thought I would begin the learning process of building my own. This is where Pitbull Guitars comes in. My starting point.
I have played around with wood before but never in the field of instruments. Thankfully this forum exists with all the helpful skilled people here + the references to other helpful sites.
Once I am satisfied I have the skills and some of the tools is to build the "blackie" copy. I aim to build and shape the body from alder, buy a neck (not willing to build one from scratch yet) and wire one up with vintage noiseless pickups and boost TBX extras.
Once I have built one or maybe a few, I was also thinking of building a nice fender copy amp to compliment the guitar.
Stay tuned.
Cheers.
Kane
