I’m having a custom build from a bloke in the States. Watching it taking shape from chunks of wood to a beautiful instrument had inspired me to give it a go. Then reality set in and I realised that you needed some years of experience and a good selection of expensive tools to do the job justice.
I stumbled across the Pit Bull site more or less by accident. Looks to be a good place to start and I like the active forum which suggests I'll be able to get some support when I need it I plan on a kit strat style with Brian’s drop-in (greatly enhanced electronics) pick guard. I’m a huge Grateful Dead fan and this’ll turn a strat into something close to Garcia’s guitar of the mid 70’s.
For those of you who like eye candy check out Brian’s Facebook page at

The Cowboy Fancy (based very loosely on Bob Weir's guitar) is a real piece of work. Count the knobs and switches
