    Hi from Adelaide

    Hi Guys
    My names Mark and i am from Adelaide i have ordered a les Paul kit its my 1st time building a guitar, i had a motorcycle accident last year and smacked my back around a bit now confined to a wheel chair haft to relearn how to play as rattled my brain a bit going through a windscreen will do that for you and i forgot a few things lol and with a lot of time on my hands, i figured always wanted to build my own guitar specially a les Paul as i would never be able to buy a Gibson so ill build my own had no idea about pit bull till i found the guy on youtube and you got to suport the aussie guys, I have a couple of strats playing a les Paul in a wheelchair has its issues but bugger it why not, before the accident i was a spray painter have a few ideas how i would like it to look cant wait for the postie to get into it
