Before you buy
Before you buy
These are raw, unfinished kits from a production factory, not flat-pack furniture. Expect to sand, fill and finish your instrument yourself, and expect the occasional scratch, dent or glue spot to deal with along the way. That is the craft, and it is why the result is worth playing.
Do a mock build before you sand or paint anything. We cannot accept returns on kits that have been part-assembled, painted or stained.
New to building? Start with an ST or TL kit, where much of the wiring is already done at the factory. We would not recommend a hollow body for a first build.

You are not on your own once the box arrives. Every kit is backed by our complete instruction manual, a quick start guide, wiring diagrams for more than fifty different kits, and step-by-step videos covering finishing, soldering, hardware, assembly and setup.

The stratocaster is one of the easiest kits to get started on. The kit comes pre-wired and there's just a couple of solder joints to make before you are rocking. The Ash body I received was amazingly figured and came up beautifully once stained. The stock PBG pickups also sound great, and the neck feels great. Highly Recommended!
I've just finished my STA-1 build , could'nt be happier. Ive done a few kits over the last couple of yrs & the Pit Bull unit is the best fit & finish by far, I will be buying another shortly, just have to decide on which model.
