Great kits for the money
I have purchased several Pit Bull kits and they have all been great. Delivery is quick and items are well packed. Wish they could keep more models in stock, but it's tough these days.

Quality kits which reward careful construction
I have purchased and built two bass guitars from Pit Bull guitars, both of which are enjoyable to play and sound very good. You should have realistic expectations when considering if the kits are right for you, as the quality of the final finish and fit come down to the care and skill you put into the project. There is a friendly and extremely helpful and savvy online community which supports newer builders. My advice: Do the research so you know what you are getting into and understand what you will need to do. Secondly, do not be in a ru...
Read moresh It will take some time to get the frets leveled and feeling great, and to achieve your desired finish. Plan on LOTS of sanding. If you choose to upgrade the hardware or electronics, you will be rewarded with and even more satisfying instrument.- Product Quality

Having bought more than a few - can't recommend them enough.
Having bought and built quite a few guitars from Pitbull over the past few years, I am stoked with the quality and support provided by the crew.

A hobby I never imagined for myself, that ends in new guitars I could never just purchase!
I have bought (and built) 4 kits from Pit Bull. The second last of those became my main instrument, so I recently bought another identical kit to build another. Their service is always first rate, and the community is so helpful.

The best kit guitars for the money
I have purchased (and built) 14 Pitbull Guitar Kits over the past seven years. Actually I'm still building 3 of them. I still have every single one of them and play them all the time. I have recorded with them and myself and friends of mine have gigged with them. I have only ever had one issue with one purchase with Pitbull, one of the necks was twisted, it took one email and had a replacement neck almost straight away.

The Best Online Service!
I have purchased 7 kits from Pit Bull Guitars. I had a bit of trouble with one kit which Ben sorted out straight away.
I couldn't be more happier with their online service. It would be one of the best going around and a lot of other businesses could learn so much from these guy!
There's so much to learn about guitars building a kit. Patience and research is the key to a successful build.

Not bad for the price
Just recieved ST-1L lefty Strat. Shipped and received in one week half way around the world. Amazing!
Very nice overall and worth the price. The neck fits nicely in the joint and the shaping is well done. Frets look very level and the neck is nice and straight. There are some troublesome issues however. The headstock is too small for the standard Strat template forcing me to have to scale it down. There are flaws on the side of the fingerboard that have been repaired with putty that is lighter in color. I'll have to dig it out or...
Read more try and stain it. The side dots are horrible. They are way too small and some of them are misaligned. I'm going to have to drill all of them out and redo them. The description says the neck is maple but it sure looks like basswood to me. It weighs much lighter than maple should and the texture has that fuzzy basswood feel. I'll know for sure once I saw into the headstock. None of these problems are show-stoppers but it is a bit underwhelming compared to other kits I've used. Update: Just shaped the headstock. 100% basswood, NOT maple!!

Always received in good condition and on time.
I enjoy working with timber, my association with Pitbull Guitars has been a good experience. There was no major challenges that I could not understand. My Guitars are a testament to good designs and well cut out timber.

Fantastic Result and a great learning experience
I opted for the Pitbull EXA-1 kit, which is an Explorer shape.
The neck was the perfect profile for me, not unlike the neck profiles on early 80's Ibanez or Greco V's/Explorers. Although the Pitbull forum (with loads of advice/guides and help from the other builders) recommended loads of sanding should be done, I found the kit to be very well finished on delivery and I completed all necessary sanding (by hand) in only 1-2 days. In fact I completed the entire build in only 10 days, with my 90year old Dad, who had came to visit. Here is a short ...

My Go-To Kit Provider
I've purchased 5 kits with Pitbull Guitars, and have always been very pleased with what I receive. Their kits are very reasonably priced, and are always solid quality. I'm not saying all kits come in perfect, I've had a couple of blemishes before, but the key word is blemishes, not true issues.
Compared to what I've paid for and received from other kit sites, Pitbull has always been above and beyond. I also can't say enough about their customer service, they respond quickly, and take care of issues quickly too!

Excellent company and great kits
My first kit was a custom spalted maple cap IB-4, really good quality and went together really well. Pit bull guitars are excellent at communicating and have no problems fixing any issue you have. Can’t recommend them enough!!! Thanks guys

Excellent quality and great service!
I have purchased four guitar kits from Pitbull over the past few years and have been very impressed with the quality and service. The fast replies to email questions is great and there is an excellent User forum to assist in building these guitars.

Great value kits and amazing customer service - produced gig worthy guitar
I purchased one of Pitbull Guitars last November and completed late Feb 2022. Kit arrived in great condition with all the parts as advertised. During the purchase process Pitbull kept me well informed around delivery and offered amazing customer services providing quick response to questions. The online forum is an amazing source of information to help you build a gig worthy guitar to your own specificiations. Please note the kits are great value for money compared to other more expensive kits out there so don't expect 10mm maple caps e...
Read moretc. Every challenge I encountered could be overcome with help from the forum and Pitbull customer service. (in my experience, builders who received kits with unfixable issues received replacement parts and continue on to build amazing guitars) My finished guitar (first time building) turned out better than expected and plays and sounds better than my brand name guitar.- Product Quality
