Thread: Hey from Western Sydney

  1. #1

    Thumbs Up Hey from Western Sydney

    G'day, I'm Derek. I'm looking at getting a TL kit (or several - haha) and thought I'd see how you guys do your thing. I've already seen how a you guys have done fantastic work with both the Pit Bull kits and mostly from scratch.

    I own a Maton EA80, MS500 and a Fender Strat. My EA80 is my main guitar as I'm a singer and I self accompany, but I've got the electric bug now and love the thought of building and finishing from a kit mistakes and all!

    Thanks for having me.

    Cheers!

    Welcome along Derek. ask as many questions as you need. Always someone around to give advice. Start a build diary once you get your kit, as we all like to see the progress of any build. JB

    Welcome along Derek! TL's are a great place to start.

    Thanks everyone.

    Cheers Brendan, it's a pretty convenient choice for me. I love country lead stuff and my strat doesn't twang enough for me. A tele build makes sense I reckon. I'd love to do a Nashville Tele build if I ever get the confidence to route for a middle pickup.
