    Hello - new member

    Hello All,

    Signed up a while ago, have been lurking for a while now eyeing up the guitars being made on here. There are some beauties being made, that's for sure.

    Took the plunge today with the sale item, picked up an LPA-1 for $140. Bargain. How can I go wrong at that price?

    Going to wait until the arrival before I plan what I intend to do with it in regards to colour etc.
    Can't wait to get started - no doubt I'll be picking a few brains here as my woodworking and soldering skills are pretty average!

    Our brains are here to be picked

    Welcome and enjoy the build.

    nice one Sandman, always exciting to see your first kit on the flesh.
    Start a build diary and do a mock build first up to make sure all the parts are there and the neck fits nicely in the pocket
