Hi Guys, I'm new here. I reside in Perth. I can't play the guitar. I own a beautiful Epiphone Les Paul studio. But recently came across these kits and am looking forward to building 1 or 5.

Twice it seems. I'll get the hang of this forum soon enough.
Hi Shoota. You'll get it with a little practice, just like playing the guitar.
What kits have you got your eye on?
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Hi Shoota, welcome on board ... looks like you're already aware of the "PBG-bug" (once you've built your first, it just never stops there!) ... directly related to a condition referred to as G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome)
... and don't forget, we all love to see pics of each other's build-progress (keep a Build Diary) as well as the finished product
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
Welcome Shoota, good to have another Perth builder, as Pablo asked what kit/s are you planning on starting ?
Ask lots of questions, there's heaps of knowledge on this forum and start a build diary when the kit arrives.

My first build will be a st junior for my daughter who is 6 in February. It will be painted. Not stained. And will be very girly. She has a 3/4 acoustic which she likes to play sometimes but it's so fat that she struggles. So I'm hoping electric will fix that and she will take it a bit more seriously. Then I'd like to do a LP or St for myself.
sounds like good plans Shoota, are you a north of the river or south ? You need a passport to enter north of the river
