New to the guitar building scene. Stuffed around with acoustics for forty odd years. Learnt more in the past 12 months than anytime before. Thank god for the inter web.
Just ordered a ST -1 kit. A winter project at this stage.

Welcome aboard Dengreg! Plenty of help available here, just ask. No question is too daft- I know because I ask lots of them!

Looking forward to seeing how your build goes.

Welcome Dengreg, a good kit to start your journey with. Don;t forget to start a My Build Diary thread for your build when you get going.

Welcome Dengreg! Hope you have a blast building your guitar - ST-1 is a great place to start!
BTW - sorry 'bout the cricket - though those of us in Perth (especially Wokka and I) loved it!

I suppose it is some consolation after Hawthorn beating Fremantle.

Welcome Dengreg, good kit to start with the ST-1 (only 3 solder joins required !), I've built close to 10 of these kits and can do it blindfolded now so ask any questions you like.
Why wait till winter ? Once you start the build you will want another........and another so be warned !
Look forward to seeing the build diary. What colours you got in mind ? plenty of good wudtone stain colours we can recommend. Please post a pic so we can see what the basswood grain is like.
I'm a Freo fan so lastnights Scorchers win was welcomed !
