    My FS-1 Build - ah first time!!!!!!!!

    Hi all,

    My name is Matt and I'm based in Guildford, UK. I'm a working guitarist and guitar teacher based around Surrey and Berkshire and play in a jazz trio (soon to be quartet).

    I've had a FS-1 kit on order and it's now fast approaching delivery (hopefully)!!

    I've customised the kit slightly so that it will only have one P90 in the neck position and one volume/tone control.

    Can't wait to get started now, I recently completed a guitar building course down in Sussex with 12th Fret which was amazing so now trying to do the whole thing myself!

    I thought it would nice to warn you all...I'll have ALOT of questions so any advice and tips will be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

    My first question is...how to I attach pics to my post?

    Thanks all and I look forward to chatting with you all!

    Matt

    Hi Scramblermatt, Welcome to the forum.

    To post pics they need to be sized no bigger than 1500 x 1500. I use Irfanview to help with that and also any other editing that may be required.

    To post pics, you can do them one by one up to a maximum of 5 per post simply by clicking on 3rd last icon showing in the 'Quick reply' box/window. Alternatively, once in a 'Quick reply' environment, click go advanced from bottom menu bar and look for manage attachments....it is pretty easy from there.

    Very late over here so signing off and wish you luck.

    Cheers, Waz

    Hi Matt. I'm a Woking boy but now living just outside Reading, and know Guildford well.

    A good guide to posting photos here. http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=8642

    Good luck with your build and ask away!
