From Triabunna

[Steve Mars]

My first pit bull kit has just arrived ...eventually I hope it will look and sound like a Gibson 125 , but at the moment I am somewhat overawed by the project.

Anyway I'm Steve Mars, an old bloke, nowadays an artist, but in the past (long past) used to be known as a drummer but have been an aspiring guitarist for just far too long.

Anyway, once I stop being scared I am looking forward to the project, but suspect I will be researching this site very extensively before I actually start.

Oh, and for those that don't know Triabunna is where you catch the ferry to Maria Island.

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum. Sounds like a great build and will be interested to read about all your experiences . Just one question. Where is Maria Island?? .

cheers,
Gav.

[Steve Mars]

Where is Maria Island? South of the Freycinet Peninsula and north of the Tasman Peninsula.

Welcome Steve, that's a very cool part of the world you come from! Don't hesitate in asking questions - there are some very clever people here who are incredibly helpful.

welcome to the forum Steve, presume you have an ES-5V kit ?
I will check out your location on google maps !

Start a build diary and ask any questions there. The forum will guide you to build a cool looking and sounding axe !

EDIT you are from Tassie, there are about 4 or 5 forum builds from Tassie now !

Come on there must be more that 5...I met one in my gallery last week, up to his third build, and I have a mate outside Deloraine having issues with his first...so I wonder what the real number is.

Yes!!! We are so taking over this site!!!
Ok, quick calculation time......
Population of Tasmania - Approx 500,000
Number of Taswegian Members on here - 5....ish
Percentage of Tasmanians that are members of PGBForums - 0.0001%
Conclusion........Yep, definitely taking over!!!

BTW, Welcome to the site!!
Love the East Coast area of Tassie.

You forgot to multiply by 100 to get %, so it's actually 0.001% of the Tasmanian population.

Hey Zandit there are 3156 members on this forum so technically 5 Tassie members is 0.158% is a much better figure haha
