Greetings from Victoria's Yarra Valley. Just picked up a box from the post office, that should be a TL-1A , so my journey begins!
I have been messing around on guitars for about forty years, and have a dozen or so guitars of varying quality, plus a couple of basses, mandolins ukes, etc.. I like musical instruments, with the next one always being the favourite. A couple of years ago my Financial Controller decreed that 'there will be no more new guitars!'. A year or so later, the amendment 'or used guitars!' was added. I am expecting another amendment shortly.
I have pretty basic wood working skills, and not much in the way of tools. Last year I built a lap steel from a piece of my house, and that has encouraged me to take the next step. My plan is to do this as stock standard, with a very basic finish (probably shellac; I like shellac!), and maybe upgrade the hardware down the track. I've never owned a tele before, so I am excited about correcting that.
I have already learned quite a bit from visiting this forum, so that is encouraging. I will probably take this very slowly.
And now...to open that box!
Cheers, Gary
