Thread: Hi everyone!

  1. #1
    Greetings from Sydney!

    Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone! I'm totally stoked about learning the ins and outs of building a guitar and hopefully, it will lead to me having my first kit guitar!!

    To be honest, I haven't played in a long while and can't wait to get my hands on a six-string. I've parted ways with my guitars, effects and amps except for a Jackson/Charvel acoustic I've had since I was a kid.

    I've always been a Les Paul person, but Strats will always have a place in my heart (my first electric guitar was a dinged-up, Strat-esque Tokai).

    Keen to learn and there's definitely alot of really talented people on this forum I would love to learn from.

    Keep up the good work and I hope to be able to produce something in the future!

    PS - what should I tell the Mrs when she sees the wood working tools I've ordered??

    Welcome to the forum Rozario, plenty of talent here, loads of friendly help. Always a great idea to start a build diary. Folk here notice things that are out of place and can correct you before you go too far wrong...
