Greetings from the USA. Here's my 1st Pit Bull kit in progress.
I've built kits before, as well as scratch builds and "parts guitars". I am always keeping an eye out for quality kits at reasonable prices, and so far I'm not disappointed with this one.
I've gone for a weathered/distressed look here (a frequent theme of mine). The color is Varathane Ebony stain. To get the look I was after I applied the stain, let it set 5 minutes or so, then wiped it down with mineral spirits to remove the excess, revealing some great contrast on the top, and a worn look on the back, sides, and headstock. Dog bone inlay on the headstock is mother of pearl. After gluing the neck the whole guitar was sprayed with 9 coats of rattle can nitro cellulose lacquer, satin finish.
