    Retirement Project

    Hi,

    My name is Brian and I am from south west Victoria in Australia. I have recently retired so I thought I my try my hand at building a kit guitar. I have just purchased the DM-1F P90 double cutaway so am looking forward to see how that goes. Hopefully it will be a prized part of my instrument collection... haha ..... and maybe the start of many more projects.

    The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"

    I see, you're a radical. I recently joined Men's Shed. Nearly all the guys there are retired, and they all seem to make either cutting boards or cheese boards .

    Hi Brian, welcome aboard. You won't regret your decision, a hobby in retirement is essential.

    I started building my first guitar after my wife passed away as a means of coping with her loss. I am now on to build #20 and not planning to stop anytime soon.

    I hope you enjoy your build.
