Thread: Another lefty hi from Norway!

  1. #1

    Another lefty hi from Norway!

    Hello. I'm new to this forum.. I just recieved my first kit. ES-1GL lefty... after unboxing and initial inspection the quality seems to be top notch.. nice snug neckjoint. Clean binding. Initial sanding seems nice. I guess it's up to me to do the rest in a similar quality to end up with a beautiful guitar in the other end og this experience. I'm looking forward to getting started. If this thing ends up playing as good as it's bare bones looks, I will have a truly great instrument

    Well... It can be somewhat challenging to spray paint in freezing temperatures. And drying times affect the progress. But when living up north, one develop tecniques to battle hostile painting conditions

    Welcome Daniel. I look forward to watching your build and in particular seeing your "cold weather techniques. I live in the cooler, southernmost part of Australia, Tasmania. Although nowhere as cold as Norway, we are often called Taswegians by our warmer climate counterparts.....
