Gday all
Just bought my first kit from Adam which should arrive Monday... can't wait to get stuck into this. Ended up getting the PRS kit and looking at using the dingotone bondi blue.... looking forward to learning a lot off the crew on here. Cheers Paul!

Welcome Paul.
Geez, Express Post isn't that good in this part of the country.
Hope the DT Bondi Blue turns out the way you expect as most builds seen so far have looked like faded denim and not a lot of depth of colour.

Thanks all!
Yep I am in Perth hence the quick delivery - very rare for us here in WA!
Yeah the Bondi Blue pic on the site doesn't look a deep blue, but I was hoping the more coats I apply the darker it will get... anyways all learning. I also have a Flying V kit to tackle, gone the Coolangatta Gold to get a Korina type colour...
I know there are lots of vids on here, is there one where it take you from Step 1 to final guitar?
Cheers, Paul.
Hi Paul,
welcome to the forum. There isn't a video that goes through all the steps but there are quite alot of video's on the Pitbull website but some are a bit out of date.
Let us know which part of the build you need some help/advice on.
When the kit arrives do a mock build to make sure all the parts are there and the neck fits in the pocket ok.
Get some sandpaper about 120 to 400 grit and next step is to start sanding the body and neck. You will have to shape the headstock too these come as a paddle and need shaping.
It will probably have a veneer ontop of the body so don't sand the veneer much as they are very thin and easy to sand though
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Awesome thanks! The kit is waiting for me at the Post Office now.
