    New member, First build, not the last :)

    Hi Everybody
    My name is Jarrod and I'm building my first Pitbull Guitars kit, the PRS-1Q.
    My apologies for not posting in here earlier, not great forum etiquette on my behalf, i hadn't noticed the introduce yourself section.
    My nickname is Chas, couldn't say my middle name as a kid and it sort of stuck.
    Looking at taking on guitar manufacture and maintenance as a career and thanks to Pitbull Guitars for a great starting point.

    Thankyou for setting up this forum, a lot of the questions i have had have already been answered. And i didnt have to search the internet for hours to try and find the information.

    Looking forward to starting this build and keeping up to date with the build diary.

    Cheers guys
