    Swanny’s FS-1

    I ordered my next build, looking for something different. I ordered a resonator. It has a hollow body, and all these interesting additions which some people like, some people hate... such as a sound cone.

    I’d read that there are quality control problems with the kit, but I’m up for a challenge.


    So I pulled the trigger and saw that the kit disappeared from the website menu... I got the last one!

    I started planning, reading on other builds, and today I got my first cheap purchase for the build, as the bridge needs string slots filed....




    A few days ago I got an email from Adam at Pitbull Central, apologising that the last resonator had been returned to the factory, and no further kits were being supplied due to the quality control issues.

    It was either refund, or choose another kit.

    I chose another kit, something a bit different.

    Sucks that the resonator is off the table. What did you swap it for?

    Ah, that can wait till the kit arrives, in case I jinx it! It should arrive in two days.

    But it has this style head....

    Off the tools? I was trying out some metal work... bending, stretching, shrinking etc.






    I'm still trying to decide on a colour scheme for the new guitar, but decided to wait till I saw the grain. Then I can decide on solid colour or stain.

    Thanks Andy, it's a bit different to woodwork! I've yet to finish the other side... just another project!
