    Hi everyone, first post... I'm Mick.

    I've got a custom ES kit on back order but until that arrives I thought I'd introduce myself and share some of my other builds/collection

    I've only ever done scratch builds from slabs of timber (the LP on the far right) and i guess one kit if you count piecing together a guitar from a blank body (the Tele on the far left)
    I've got another half finished scratch build loosely based on the love child of a PRS and a telecaster which I'll post some photos of later.

    I'm really looking forward to the getting stuck into the ES, the have a great tone and if mine turns out half as good as the ones I've seen on here I'll be more than happy.

    Hi Mick, that's quite a collection of guitar stands you have there, some nice guitars too.

    That L.P you made looks a treat, and the Tele you put together looks well worn. Was the body like that, or did you do a relic job on it?

    Hi Mick, and welcome to the PBG family.

    A lovely collection of guitars you have there, can't wait to see what you can do with a PBG kit.

    G'day Mick and glad to have you on board ... seriously nice collection you have there ... (Hey Adam he's got a Banjo! - another one for "our side"! ... just to explain, Mick, some of the "less cultured elements" 'round here like to poke fun at banjo's - but some of us love 'em!)

    We'll all be looking forward to seeing your build diary as the ES progresses, so take lots of pics!


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    Hi Mick. Welcome to the madhouse. You have a fantastic varied collection of guitars there! And don't worry about Scott, to me he seems harmless enough ;-)
    Please do start a build diary and flood it with everything as you go. Watching others do their builds has helped me a lot and It's great to see the kinds of ideas people come up with to make the guitar 'theirs'. Cheers.

    Welcome Mick! I look forward to reading your build diary. The ES is one of the most rewarding kits in the pitbull range IMHO. I'm sure you will have a blast and love the result.

    cheers,
    Gavin.

    cheers guys!

    Scott, I don't know why everyone doesn't have a banjo! It's impossible to play one and not have a giant smile on your face

    Here's a few pics of my LP scratch build... its an LP shape all routed out internally with SG wiring and a bolt on neck. It has sustain for days and you can tune it down to B without any huge issues.





    Danmade, the body started out as a brand new piece of swamp ash until I got my hands on it. I love the tele tone and got the idea of doing a '52 tribute' in seafoam green... it turned out colorbond do a green that looks almost identical to a yellowed worn out seafoam green.
