Hi all,
My name is Phoenix, I'm an Aussie currently living in France, and most crucially, I'm a first time guitar builder.
Having found some spare time I figured why not learn something new, as I've always loved guitars and the nostalgia that comes with building something unique with your own hands. Long story short I ordered a TLA-1F as a warm up project and an ES1-gt as more of a challenge. I'd already had an idea in mind for the ES that was inspired by some of the amazing guitars in this forum. However during the wait for the guitars to arrive I began generating more ideas for how I want the tele to look and sound, so I'm really excited to see if I can bring it to life.
Thus far I haven't made a build diary, but I'll get to that next. As for the guitar, I've shaped the head, ordered wudtone for the neck and body, picked up a few other extras and pyrographed a design along the edges. My idea is starting to come to life!
Anyway, apologies in advance for the many questions I am liable to pose along the way, but man am I excited to finally have my kit in hand!
