    Hi! New member intro

    Hi all,
    David from Adelaide signing up for the forum.

    I own several guitars but am new to kit building, have just ordered my first - ES-1GT (ES 335 style) about an hour ago. I've been considering buying a cheapy - there are lot's out there, seems like another one pops up every month.

    I spoke to our Bass player (I'm in a wind ensemble) who builds his own guitars and basses and he suggested buiding a kit so, here I am.

    I taught myself to rebuild saxes from forum posts and Youtube videos so why not build a guitar the same way?

    Just have to wait for it to arrive.

    Wish me luck

    Welcome and good luck! I am a new builder making something similar myself! The process is a lot of fun!
