Hey guys this is my first post here, I wish I had found this place sooner. I will start off telling you a little about my back ground. I have been playing guitar for about 13 years now. I built my first one in shop class my sophomore year in 2000 or 2001 i cant remember. It was nothing more that a squire guitar i got at a pawn shop, i robbed the electronics and the neck and built a copy of the body. It wasn't pretty, but it was a start. I have started several builds since then only to give up half way through due to mistakes. I think i have it figured out this time, we shall see. I finished my first complete build from scratch about a month ago, only to have it completely ruined by a pest control service that sprayed down everything in my shop with there power sprayer. the hardware is toast and the finish was ruined. I decided to start over fresh with what i had learned. I am now in the middle of that build and it is going well. I am not new to woodworking, in fact i am the 3rd generation of woodworker in my family. I have tools and the knowledge of how to use them, what i don't have is guitar building experience. My dad has helped along the way, but he is not a guitar player so he approaches everything from a cabinet building point of view. Here are some pics of the guitar i am in the middle of, my wife has the camera today so ill post beter pics once she gets home. I look forward to talking with you guys and hopefully i can pass on some knowledge along the way.
