Hello from a new member!
I've been working on my first build, a TB-4 kit, since May. I'll start a build diary sometime soon.
I've been browsing this forum regularly since I started building and I want to say thanks to everybody who posts, even if it's only to ask a question. I've learned a lot from the answers and advice. You're helping more people than you realize.
The forum's search function isn't very good, so here's a tip: use google and include site:www.buildyourownguitar.com.au.
