    Post Noob Builder

    Hello to all... I hail from Oklahoma and have been playing guitar for close to 20 years now. This is my way of keeping it tough. I have always loved woodworking and guitars, I decided on a whim to try something completely out of my comfort zone. I'll keep a post on what I choose to build and I will be eternally grateful any help, I have so much to learn and look forward to maybe finding a hobby that has the best rewards.

    Welcome Pyro! Look forward to following your build. A musician and woodworker? I don't think you'll have too many problems!! So, when I think Oklahoma I think Sooner rather than Thunder - are you more one than the other?
    Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"

    In Progress:
    Build #6 N1R "Semi-scratch" build
    Build #7 JZA-1 Baritone

    The Cavan Project
    The Magnificent Compaņeros
