    Hello from Queensland Australia!

    Hey all, I'm new to the guitar building scene and I'm really just here for pointers and guides on the guitar kit I picked up! I'll create an appropriate thread in the Builds section describing what I purchased and where I'm stuggling with the kit!

    I'm an Apprentice Butcher so sometimes I struggle with finger and hand injuries and do get a little bit of guitar playing downtime or just general playing difficulty, I guess playing with knives and guitars wasn't the best choice of job and hobby!

    I have played guitar for about 10 years self taught, however I am no guitar god and have about the skill of someone who's been playing for 6 months haha!

    I think we can all identify with not being Guitar Gods bro Welcome to the forum family!

    Welcome! Lots of fun to be had here.
    Reminds me of a gig I played about 20 years ago when I managed to squash my lh pinky so badly the nail fell off..... between 2 speaker cabs about 30 mins before the gig!
