    Hi from South Australia

    Hey guys.
    I have just made my first pitbull purchase and am keen to collect the whole range.
    I just bought a DTL-7 7 string telly style guitar. I am pretty keen to start the build. I will start a build thred
    With lots of photos and videos as soo. As I get the kit delivered.


    I am just getting back in to music after a 15 year break from playing in numerous pub bands at once.
    I am now just happy recording my own music on garage band. I have a few guitars already.
    .westone 6string
    .epiphone les Paul
    .ibanez rg series
    .maton ms500
    And my favourite a maton jb6
    which is hard to beat
    I have been restoring cars for many years but feel I need a change and am about to learn every thing there
    Is to know about building guitars. I can’t think of a better place to start.
    I look forward to getting to know you all
    Thanx
    Mick

    Welcome Mick.
    The car restoration experience may be handy when it comes time to do your finishing is you do a spray finish.

    Cheers,
    Mick

    Certainly will. I came here a couple of years ago in the same boat. It’s a great switch up from cars as lots of skills transfer over. Plus they are a much better size to work on and still offer a lot of the same fun of customisation that cars do.

    Yeh a lot of my skills will most definitely carry over from the car restoration.
    My ultimate goal is to build a guitar from scratch
