    Hello everybody,

    Dave from Belgium...
    Bought me a ES-2V kit...
    Always liked personalizing stuff since i was little
    So this will be my first build...
    I'm having problems with computer so i'm a bit late with my introduction "for my build... is almost finished"
    What can i say...i had the kit and no pc
    What else than luthier building can one do?
    Did ran in to a bit of problems getting the kit...had to pay customs-taxes to import in my country...
    Good thing Adam is a straight up guy and he gave me advise and offered full refund...
    I like them honest people...
    But i wanted it so bad...i waited so long and watched so many "how to" videos
    So i payed the taxes...reason to play the blues when it's done i guess.
    I'll be posting pics if i can via my phone...
    Starting at the unpacking

    Welcome from me too, Dave.
    I like your intro story and can see that you're going to enjoy building this axe. And when you're done I definitely want to hear you singing the blues about it.
    Cheers.
