    Tonedef is in the shop

    Hello everyone,
    This Covid thing has made individuals do crazy things, basically I’m a wood worker and during COVID lockdown last year I built a hollow wooden surf board … and I didn’t even surf.
    Good news now that its completed, it floats.
    Now I’m waiting for summer in perth to arrive to learn how to ride it.
    In the meantime my next project is to build my own wooden guitar and you guessed it … I have never played a guitar, crazy you might say, how ever the lessons have begun.
    Stay tuned, ( I guess that is a pun for you people)
    Cheers Tonedef

    G'day! Welcome to the forum! Are you planning to start with a pitbull kit, or jump in the deep end and start completely from scratch? Plenty of great advice to be found here.

    I've only recently joined myself and have found the brains trust here to be invaluable.

    Looking forward to seeing how you go!

    Hi and welcome.

    Quite a few people her have never played a guitar before they built a kit. It's a good way of getting to know more about what you are actually playing. So many guitarists remain pretty ignorant about the details of the instrument they play. All the best with the guitar and with the surfing!

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
