Hello everybody. As part of my mid-life crisis I've just completed my first guitar build! An EX-1 and the wife is horrified. All went really well, all I need to do is learn to play the thing.

Hi Jayman, welcome to the forum. great kit mate. you'll have to post some pics for us.
I just realised you are in Co Galway, loved it there myself spent many a night in the Ballinasloe pubs. Some of the best nights out i've ever had were in irish pubs. Great to have you with us.

Welcome along Jayman - check out youtube - heaps of free guitar lessons - stuff like justinguitars.com as well...
Current builds:
GPB-4B: https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...548#post184548
I use jam play for my on line lessons at the moment and it's pretty good because it's all structured snd it's relatively inexpensive as well.
Plenty of freebie lessons on youtube for any playing level and most genres.
Would love see some pictures of your completed axe.
