I've been building kit guitars for a few years, I'm on my fourth at the moment, I've stalled partway through the build while I was painting the yacht.

How the kit starts...

Thanks Rod, I didn't know either, until I was Googling on how to repair a broken support inside my old Maton. I did a solid body electric for my son to shred on as well... I'm not so proud of that one.

The last one is based on a Fender Starcaster. I found a Perth based business who has the kits made overseas, they have bass guitars, Fender, Gibson and Ibanez style kits, a very helpful bunch to deal with.

You can find them here: Pit Bull Guitars
