    Hi from Porto, Portugal

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Décio Pereira, I'm from a south Europe country called Portugal, from a north city called Porto. I'm 31yo and I play guitar since I'm 6.
    I knew I had to take the challenge of building a guitar. And these kits are perfect, because building a guitar from a chunk of wood would clearly be too much to begin with.
    I received a GR-1SF kit recently and I will start the project soon. I will try to post a diary of it, as I know there will be a bag of doubts during the process, and I will rely on your experience and suggestions to make a piece that I'll be proud of.

    Thank you in advance!
