Hello From Japan
Hi, there I've been playing guitars for years, with mixed success, and I've always wanted to try my hand at lutherie. Well that's a big cliff to jump from so I figured I'd start with a kit. Found this great site and decided to take the plunge.
Ordered (on back order) a LP-1ss (spalted maple Les somebody or other). I am excitedly awaiting its arrival to Japan.
Yay!
welcome to the forum Japan, LP-1SS a great kit to start on and some of these spalt veneers look incredible. Good luck with the build !
