Thread: Newcomer from Barakaldo (Spain)

    Newcomer from Barakaldo (Spain)

    Hi everyone there!!!
    I´ve recently acquired an ES-3 Kit and i´ll try to make a decent build up diary. This is going to be my first build.
    As an electronic tech, i have experience with stomp boxes, amps and guitar electronics. I´ve been playing guitar for the last 18 years and i maintain my axes... but this is the first attempt for a whole kit.

    I was searching for something different, i´ve got an american strat, a Gibson Les Paul Standard DC Plus, Washburn N1 and WV-60, Had a Tele Deluxe and some more guitars... So i decided to go for an archtop electric guitar.

    Forgive my poor english skills!!

    Welcome Koldo!
    Don't worry about your English. Many here are Australian which means your english is probably much better than ours :P.

    Thank you guys!!
    The electronic stuff in a guitar is a very easy thing if you know how to use a welder. But, of course, i´ll try to give a good answer to any question about. Will put pics about everything in my build diary. I´ve taken tons of information from internet, so it´s time to give something back.

    Also interested on that "Build your own amp/cab" project. I may be more "useful" in that area.

    See you!!
