Hi my names is Jeff was looking for a project guitar to work on with my son Rowan aged 14 and stumbled on to Pit Bull Guitars and liked what we found. So here we are we brought an SV-1 to build with Rowans happy approval. it arived yesterday and tomorrow we start the fun stuff sanding and I hope to be able to teach the boy something along the way.
Cheers
That is awesome. We have a few father and son teams on the forum. Would love to see the progress in a build diary. It will also help us to help you as there are sone eagle eyes amongst our community who can give timely guidance when asked for and sometime when not! But is always constructive and helpful. Look for the thread "how to build your pitbull guitar".

Welcome Jeff & Rowan to the PBG clan.
You'll have a blast working on the kit together. I built a BC-Rich Avenge with my 10 year old son and it was a great experience. Start a build diary and share your progress and experiences with all of us!
cheers,
Gav.

How awesome! another Father and Son build team
Welcome to the crazy ranch....
We might have to start another section dedicated to family builds....
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Welcome along guys - my daughters are a touch younger, but it's a good feeling when you can get them involved (especially the sanding part). Great to see teams getting together to build guitars together.

welcome Jeff and Rowan,
I'm sure you will enjoy the build and it probably won't be your last build ! Start a build diary and ask lots of questions, plenty of help on the forum. Don't rush the build and Dingobass's mantra is sand, sand more, sand again, and when you think you have sanded enough, sand again !
Best of luck
