Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a 22 year old storeman here in Wagga, I've been playing instruments since I was very young and picked up guitar about 7 years ago, I've always loved tinkering and using my hands, so when I found pit bull guitars I jump at the opportunity. This is my first ever build, the start of many.
Ooh, that is fine. Is the the 'Coronado' kit? First one I've seen finished and it looks ace. Well done. This would go well in the Guitar of the month comp.

Welcome Gerry, that's a nice build, like Pabs said: GOTM entry , mate!

Hi Gerry,
That kit looks great, I have one of these sitting in the box until I finish my strat. seeing yours I can't wait to get started now. How does it play?
welcome Gerry, excellent looking build, as others have asked is it a Coronado kit ? You haven't wasted any time as they haven't been available that long. Keen to hear of any upgrades and how it plays/sounds ?

Welcome Gerry and nice work. It's gotta feel great playing and showing off something beautiful you built yourself. Ditto for the sound test.
Wagga Wagga... I love Australia!
Nobody happens to be looking for an IT project manager down under, by any chance? :-)
