Hello everyone.
My name is Chris and I am 43 from Melbourne. I work in a well know tool retailer. (I have access to tools. LOL)
I've just purchased a TL-1AR kit for my Daughter. I have a few ideas on how I am going to go about building it after reading and watching many videos on this site. I look forward to share my journey with you all.
Chris
Welcome to the madness Chris! Look forward to seeing what you come up with for your girl.
Just as a guess, is it going to be pink? 😄

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
welcome to the forum Chris, look forward to see your build progress with your daughter. Tele's are a great starter kit. Very handy having access to a tool shop you work at !
Best of luck and start a build diary to share the journey with the forum.
