Giday folks and Guitar heads..

Giday All.
I'm just another guitar mad dude. Been playing since I was 16 now 45. Played in a few pub bands and some duo's ect. ect. I love building my own gear. Have a Tele I made in 97 it's silky oak with a Mighty mite neck. Then Built a Rickenbacker 360 12 string copy with a through neck made of all QLD timber. QLD maple body with Wenge center strip .The pickup is an old toaster style pickup a friend gave me and I think its from an old Rickenbacker copy. It sounds good and looks good so I'm happy. I have been building Valve Amps since about 1989 when I was doing my Electronics trade with Dick Smith electronics in Sydney then in Brisbane . Valve amps have been my passion and I am getting back into it after a messy Divorce 5 years ago.. So I'm thinking I just might build a few of your interesting looking and from all reports well made guitars in the next few years.. Happydays:-)

Hey Hungry,

Welcome aboard!

I must say my ears pricked up when I saw the Silky Oak Tele, I have wondered if Silky was any good as a Lutherie timber and now my question has been answered.
Just don't let Adam get his hands on it or you may loose it :P ..... ( There is an in house joke going on about Adams passion for the Telecaster) I have put together two of our Tele kits and both were snaffled by Adam before they were finished!

A valve amp dude? How groovy is that! I am sure that there will be many forum members that will be very interested to hear that.

Anyhoo, glad to have you as part of the Pit Bull family

What do you mean "in-house" joke....i had to take security with me when I took my tele for the photo-shoot at Adam's?

Would love to know more about building Tube Amps! any suggestions?

Hey HungryHunter, welcome aboard.

It's true, I collect Telecasters and that one of yours does look kinda sweet. If you're ever in Perth why don;t you bring it over one day...

Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Suggest you don’t take it to Adams, he has a super reverb amp and he believes that unless you own one, you automatically have to give him your Tele

Haha!! That is true! Just remember DB, if I ever visit you, I automatically get the best G-Type you have!!!

Welcome to the forums HungryHunter! I can tell you, that when you get your first kit, you will probably want to get every other kit (like me!)!

Cheers,
Callum
