Here's my thought on a simple Telecaster.
It has a basswood body, maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. The kit itself is not from Pitbull, the (golden) hardware is.
Comments welcome.
Cheers, Ton

Very nice. Black and gold, classier than the name suggests.

I sprayed 1 layer of matt black acrylic paint on it and 1 layer of matt laquer. Didn't use filler. I wanted it to be as sinister black as I could get it.

Black guitars aren't my favourite but you gotta love the sheer simplicity of a satin black Telecaster, eh!!
As a matter of interest, Aria Pro II did a range of Black'n'Gold guitars in the early 80s which have been re-released; they were very classy instruments indeed!
