    Hi all!

    This is my first attempt at one of these kits and I must say it was a fun experience and I'm very happy with the way things have turned out. I bought a set of tonerider Rebel90s to drop into another guitar but decided against it. I spotted the pickguard on a certain online shopping type website, then I remembered stumbling across Pitbull guitars a little while back so I ordered the ST-1 kit with gold hardware, some Dingotone Nullarbor ochre, gotoh 3 way switch, CTS pots and srague cap and this is what I finished up with.

    Nice build Fuzzbeard like the body colour and the green pearloid pickguard and rear cover really make this stand out.

    That's like an Australia themed guitar, Fuzzbeard! Green and Gold, it even goes with the grass!

    Great job on the build!

    I like the colours in your flying V, Tony! Cool looking axe!

    Oh, and I see you've got one of those rechargeable beagles, he's still plugged into the lead!

    Massive, massive fan of the headstock on that ST Fuzzbeard, its like a Dr Seuss version of the Fender style headstock. My wife's a big supporter of that finish with the green pearloid......but that purple on the grain on VH's flying V is the business....
