    Greetings from Wollongong

    Hi All,
    I don't play Guitar, Yet, but have been wanting to build one for a long time. I have 3 children 2 boys (grown men really) who both play bass and one of them plays guitar as well. Now my daughter wants to learn, So I have just purchased my first Pit Bull Guitar kit and we will have some fun assembling and painting it together.

    it will also be good practice for one for myself as well.

    I must say, Adam has been great with quick responses and help where possible as well as people on the forum.
    Lots of helpful information here, so thank you for that.
    I hope to show off our creations in due time.

    Neil

    Thanks for the welcome gents, first kit coming is an ST-1. That's what the daughter wanted. Will be fun.

    I want to do an LP kit later but not sure on neck type set or bolt on.

    G'day Crusader,
    I have not spent much time on the forum but have been putting together one of the acoustic basses and planned on uploading a diary when I get a chance. A friend has also built one of the guitars and we both live in the Illawarra. If you want some advice (from another novice ;-) drop a line on the_merchants@y7mail.com
