Hi from Melbourne

[Fnord]

Hi,

I'm a CNC nut looking for some new things to make on my mill, and I thought fancy engraved guitar parts would be a nice thing to try. I have *far* too many guitars already, but most of them have some kind of emotional attachment for me - a kit guitar seemed to be the cheapest and (hopefully) fun option.

How did I end up with a Pitbull?

I had been window shopping guitar kits on Ebay for months, then I found a very cheap auction for some rather messed-about half built tele kits. Some googling identified one as the TL-1TB - I like it, and now I'm looking at buying two more kits, a HB-4S and probably one of the other hollow-body basses. I'd buy another tele right now if they came with a spalted top.

I'll be running a build thread for the TL-1TB rescue. Someone tried to do a neon green burst with car enamel spraycans (photo attached). I can't wait to sand all that off and see the wood. It came without any of the hardware, but I don't mind - I'm not a fan of the Bigsby.

Hi Fnord, welcome to our little corner of the net. I had a feeling I'd seen this before...http://www.pitbullguitars.com/?page_...wtopic&t=195.0
Obviously, he's given up. Can't wait to see what you can do with it.

Hi Fnord, welcome to the community and best of luck with the build. Good idea to remove that green paint.
Start a build diary, don't rush, ask lots of questions and enjoy the ride.
What colours you got in mind once its sanded back ?
