Nice one Budi. Nothing like the feeling of seeing a new Pitbull Guitars box on the doorstep. Enjoy your build and keep us all up to date step by step! Have fun.

cheers,
Gav.

Opened the box last night, Oh la la, how exciting
Checked and ticked all of stuff ordered are received.
Did a mock up build and making sure all the hardware are there. It looks stunning as well as scary of what lay ahead at the same time.

Did take a couple of pics and liked to post some but not quite sure how to upload it. If anyone can shed a light that would be appreciated.

Regards,
Budi

Budi, click the Reply button (bottom right) and use that, but make sure your images are around 1000 pixels on the longest side (1000 x 750 works well) so dont just post the images from your phone.

Or just use imgur.com

Thank you very much Keloooe,

Here it is my first pic
Has anyone got any idea how to get rid glue spot on the main body?
I've read somewhere in the forum here they use a "wirebrush?"
Any hint would be appreciated.

Oh BTW next to the kit is my goal, but P90s PUPs will be my next project

Try carefully sanding the glue spot first, just watch the binding. If that doesn't remove it then wirebrushing can help to allow the finish to penetrate the area (Gav's explanation of the wirebrush method). A little kit like this, particularly the brass brush, is what you're after (available from lots of large hardware retailers that DB prefers us not to name).

Yeah Budi, I had glue on my LP kit and those brushes are the best!
Be very careful not to sand through the thin maple cap!

The wire brush worked well for me. Just take your time with it and enjoy the process, makes sanding and brushing easier.

Cheers,
Brian
