gretting from your first Yank

Hello friends. I've been playing since 1965 and working on my own guitars since. I have a lot of hints and tips. I am a gunsmith, replicate American Indian artifacts for a hobby, been a plastic modeler since 1959, I am a former mortician, so I am no stranger to working with my hands. I've always wanted a Gibson Firebird, and rather than fight with the expense of a new or used one, I'd rather build one. That's how I found Adam and this company. Due to finances I currently rehabilitate used and "cheap" guitars over to name brand playability.
