    Hello

    Hi All,

    I have just purchased my first PBG kit (TL1-A). I have limited skills with woodwork and the alike. Worst case scenario is it doesn’t build a good guitar. But hey it’s number 1.

    Plan is to go slow - check and recheck and see how it turns out.

    Will be reaching out for lots of advice as I have purchased a few after market parts (to complicate matters) and am sure I will get stuck frequently.

    Cheers,

    FCD

    Welcome FCD.
    Everybody starts somewhere, and a tele kit is a good choice for a 1st build.
    Plenty of people here to offer advice when you need it!

    Cheers,
    Mick

    Greetings FCD. I'm doing the same, just ordered a TL-1 Kit. I started a build diary and will share my experiences. I'm excited but like you I do not have much for woodworking skills. I think we will both learn a lot here with help from other builders. I look forward to seeing your progress on this Forum.

    Welcome FCD, look forward to seeing where you go with this one. If you get stuck, post up some pics and sing out, the rescue crew will come running. Enjoy!

    Agree we will learn a lot. Hopefully not too many major mistakes along the way
