Thank you wokkaboy. Much appreciated! Yeah I really like working with my hands and doing projects. I used to build take-down recurve bows and make my own arrows from bare shafts. Still making arrows but put the press and bow oven in storage to make more room for new tools. I also got in to making custom knives for awhile and doing a lot of things on my wood lathe. But building guitars is going to be fun and very addicting. After that it's going to be effects pedals and then an amplifier. I have to look in to a good 2 week crash course on basic electronics to get me moving in the right direction at some point. Someone out there has to have an amplifier building course for people who want to learn. I get a kick out of seeing all this equipment that I bought for cheap money 30 years ago that now costs and arm and a leg and is called vintage lol. My buddy had a Gibson Corvus (nicknamed the can opener) from the early 1980's and it was the ugliest looking guitar that didn't catch on. Well now they are called vintage and rare and are selling for as much as $1,500.00 online lmao. They couldn't give them away back when they were being made! Same with some really mediocre sounding effects pedals from back in the 80's. Biggest regret was giving away my mint condition 79-80 Dean ML to a friend who I taught how to play the guitar. He sold it without telling me for something like $150.00 lol. Those guitars in mint condition are selling for a lot of money these days. I should have given him the Strat copy hahahahaha! Next person that comes to me to learn how to play is either going to have to buy their own guitar or get a kit as a present lol. I really enjoyed reading some of your posts on here when I was browsing through the forum before I joined. That bass with all the engraving on it that won build of the month was insane looking. I have to ask that person what his teacher thought when he received it from him. That is definitely a work of art along with a lot of other builds that I have seen on here. Really enjoying this group and learning stuff. Thanks again and have a great night!
