    Hey-Hey From The UK!

    Hi everyone, me (Joe) and the missus (Nat) bought an MKA-2 each and we're gonna build them together!

    "AWWWWWW!" said the live studio audience

    Never done anything like this before so expect plenty of questions!

    Looking at this community before we bought them gave us the confidence to go ahead, you all seem like a lovely helpful bunch

    Welcome to Crazy Town

    Sit back, relax and enjoy the shennanigans that will unfold!

    Can't wait to your build diaries.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Isn't it easier to list the things that aren't on the list?

    Welcome along Joe and Nat! Couple of recommendations - first thing - do a mock build - i.e., put it together (without screwing anything together) to see that you've got everything and it's looking OK (nothing obviously wrong with it). Then take a happy snap (you'll need to resize to max 1000 pixels / side) and post it - two things - it gives you a step by step to remember the build and 2 if you have any issues - as they say - a picture is worth... It really helps when you are seeking help if some of the forumites can see what you're talking about...

    Yup first thing I did was to make sure we had all the parts, seems all good, got some lovely grain on the ash, very impressed so far

    How come you don't like the Mosrite's DB?! Punky Surf goodness!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody
