First Build: TL-1 - Let the fun begin
So what got me started on building my first TL-1. Well, I enjoy woodwork and tinkering on the guitar so a good friend suggested..Why not build a guitar!! After some scouring on the web and recommendations, I elected PitBull was the place to be and ordered my first guitar kit! Being a beginner decided to not overspend as I want to practice techniques and build and finish of guitar is something totally new to me. In anticipation I awaited for my new kit to arrive and can say I had a big smile after finishing work and my new project was delivered and ready for the unpack. Oh, must say Adam has been great with assistance and my friend (so big thanks too). Package is unwrapped, making a list of various items I need (fillers, sandpaper blah blah) as I'm keen to get start sanding this weekend. In parallel I do need to read the guides (hmmmm not big on lost of detail but it must be done). I'm not 100% sure on the final finish but being a 'woodwork geek' a term a friend offers refers to me as, I'm thinking grain enhance with stain. I'm going to do some sample wood pieces to get a feel on what will work best before any final decision. Really hoping I can get the grain to 'pop' as i love the natural beauty wood has and hope to be able to highlight that. Anyway I'll keep all posted with progress and be up for ideas and hints as its all a learning process for me
