Looking through the Facebook photos does anyone else get the impression of a high end custom luthiers catalogue. Honestly, I'm stumped how you guys get the guitars you do out of a back yard shed. Well done guys.

Mate even since I've come on board, or since the sale, you can tell by the amount of new threads in the forums and these guys doing first time builds. How they have so much knowledge of the finishing process is anyone's guess but the standard across the board is amazing. I mean, my first build was a bit shite but hanging round you guys for a bit, the second was the lp and that turned out pretty good! I guess excellence breeds excellence.
And we'll done to Adam and crew for creating this company. Because they give a rip about guitars, we are able to come on here and learn a stack of cool stuff!
yer agreed Andrew, also I think the amount of information, links and advice on the forum these days helps first time builders. Back when I started building it was try it out and hope for the best haha

Being a carpenter helps a great deal, and watching youtube does as well./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from andrew on October 2, 2014, 15:11

Plus...do not underestimate the info you can find in this community 8-)
Very true mate. I'm a chef so the closest I come to wood work is wooden spoons. Even with all the help here I can still manage to shaft something. That's an achievement in and of itself.
