Hi all
My name is Tim and I am a singer/songwriter from Cornwall, UK. Last year I built my first kit guitar (a’T’ type) and despite having only rudimentary DIY skills I was rather pleased with the way it turned out.
Fancying a bit of a challenge I have ordered an ES3 kit in mahogany with tortoiseshell binding. Delivery is estimated at May/June so I have a little while to plan my approach.
Any helpful tips and hints would be much appreciated.

Hi Tim,
I'm also new here and waiting for a kit to arrive!! Mines expected June time so I'll be following your build closely!
Will start my own "build diary" soon!
Good luck!
p.s. I grew up in Plymouth so know Cornwall well, would love to move back down if I could!
