Hi forum people, wow been years since I have posted on one of these things lol.
Anyway just bought my first kit which arrived last week so excited to get into that. Sure I will be asking for help along the way as it's my first time building too. Also just received word I was one of the Facebook winners of a kit which will be a project for my son and me so looks like a 2 at once deal.
Anyway just wanted to introduce myself and stuff.
Cheers Alan

Welcome, Alan, and congratulations on scoring one of the kits in the comp. They're plenty of people here who are ready to help whenever you ask so have fun building with your son and I look forward to see both guitars come to fruition.

Cheers

Thanks guys. Will start a thread on both when under way. And yeah just been trawling through all the build posts to see what people are doing right or wrong so I can try to save myself some grief lol. Not looking to rush it but patience has never been my strong point.

Welcome to the crazy ranch Alan :)

Patience is the key, take your time as it isnt a race. Typically it takes me about two months to finish a guitar, the bulk of the time being taken up with the finishing.

Enjoy the build and dont heitatae to ask questions as we are only too happy to help! :)

Welcome along Allan, let the fun (and the addiction begin). I couldn't think of anything better than building an axe with my lad, you bloke's will have a blast. Do you both play?

Well done on scoring the kit Alan, it will give you hours of enjoyment and great father and son time.

I play bass ( or at least have attempted to to for the last 20 years or so) son is just learning to play guitar now but coming along quickly. Already has the lead guitarist attitude down lol.

Hi Al,
welcome to this band of thieves(LOL), they'll have you sniffing Laquer thiners before you know where you are(another LOL).
Collectively they carry enormous Guitar building talent and are more than happy to share their skills and experiences with you. Many of us are still learning. and we listen with pricked up ears at any little tit bit that the group may pass on to us, with the view to maybe using a clever idea or two.

Cheers PK

Good stuff mate, a bit of practice and he'll be there in no time, you blokes'll have to get a band together!

Oh well I'm Shot with this lot. I threw a big assed Hoffner bass down the tip many many many years back.
but in my defence it had badly delaminated the hollow body and the neck was also comming unstuck. Hmmm Might need words with my older brother about that...
