    Red face Hello from Perth

    I jumped right in yesterday with a question about a 3/4 ST I'm building for a young kid. Hopefully I'll have it finished in time for his birthday after Easter.

    Like others I'm holed up making myself busy during lockdown. And praying that we all come out of this safe and well. We live in troubling times.

    I'm in retirement now, with time on my hands and an urge to build some guitars. I've already discovered there are knowledgeable people here who are willing to share their experience with novices like me. From what I've seen it is a friendly forum and I look forward to lots of browsing and contributing.

    Mike
