    Hello from the desert

    Greetings to all from the Sonoran Desert in the US southwest, a/k/a Arizona.

    As I posted in my build diary thread, about ten years ago I bought a very cheap Yamaha acoustic from ebay and did a neck re-set. I then built an acoustic 000 kit from StewMac. That kit required gluing the sides, adding kerfing to glue up the top and shaping the neck from a square neck blank. It also required setting, leveling and shaping the frets. So I'm not entirely new to luthiery.

    But I have never built an electric. I just started an ES kit and I will undoubtedly need plenty of advice.

    So it begins...
    And the doctor said "Give him jug band music; it seems to make him feel just fine..."
