    Welcome aboard Dengreg! Plenty of help available here, just ask. No question is too daft- I know because I ask lots of them!

    Looking forward to seeing how your build goes.

    Welcome Dengreg, a good kit to start your journey with. Don;t forget to start a My Build Diary thread for your build when you get going.
    Cheers,

    Welcome Dengreg! Hope you have a blast building your guitar - ST-1 is a great place to start!
    BTW - sorry 'bout the cricket - though those of us in Perth (especially Wokka and I) loved it!

    I suppose it is some consolation after Hawthorn beating Fremantle.

    Welcome Dengreg, good kit to start with the ST-1 (only 3 solder joins required !), I've built close to 10 of these kits and can do it blindfolded now so ask any questions you like.
    Why wait till winter ? Once you start the build you will want another........and another so be warned !
    Look forward to seeing the build diary. What colours you got in mind ? plenty of good wudtone stain colours we can recommend. Please post a pic so we can see what the basswood grain is like.
    I'm a Freo fan so lastnights Scorchers win was welcomed !
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
