    Hello from Melbourne,AUS

    Hello

    I live in Melbourne
    I just built my first kit guitar
    I did the ash body STA with 22 fret maple neck
    It was also my first time doing wood work
    Didnt expect it to be alot of work I was expecting more like a building kit similar to IKEA products
    Not sure if I have enough patience to do another kit at this point
    but it sure was a good satisfying feeling when I struck the first chord on it after finish was done
    then I just couldnt let go of it and kept playing for good 2 hours after that. good feeling.
    maybe I'll do another kit if I ever become unemployed or work less.

    Have a nice day!

    Very nice looking guitar. Nice Work! You should put it up for GOTM.

    Hi and welcome.

    Nice. If you haven't done it in the meantime, you may want to make it a little bit nicer by taking the protective plastic off the back of the tuners (especially before any GOTM photos).
