Hey all, I'm Peter from Tassie just purchased my first DIY guitar, a jm-1, really looking forward to getting started on the build thinking of doing a similar finish to one of the others on here, a sort of sonic blue/aqua body and vintage
amber neck/headstock.
Welcome Peter, I think we have one other Tassie member here.
A cool anc classic combo there mate.
Dont forget to do a build thread, and heaps of helpful advice here. Enjoy

Thanks guys, its my first time doing a complete build but I have a couple of guitars that i've played with, my main guitar
is a heavily modded strat from the big F, but this one should be much nicer to play being built from the ground up.
Good one Peter. Any prior experience is an advantage. There have been some unbelievable first builds on the forum so sure you can build a very playable good looking axe
