I'm working on my first guitar and was hoping to find someone in the cleveland area that I could possibly meet up and talk to and get a better idea of what I should do I'm a hands on learner so reading books are not my best method of learning and I can only get so much from a dvd because I can't ask questions.
so if your around the area let me know. thanks micah.

I'm from Ohio, but down by Columbus. I've only been building for 5 years, still I like getting together with other guitar builders and talking guitars. Clinton

I'm in Columbus too.

Only been doing this for less than a year but I have a fair amount of machinery if you need something done. Always interested in learning more also.

36" Bandsaw, drill press, 12" jointer, 16" helical head planer, large radial arm saw (good for scarf joints), router table, & table saw. I've also built a side bender with forms for Dred, OM, and 12-fret 000.

Hey Micah. I live in Avon and am not too far from you. There aren't too many of us in the Cleveland Area. As John mentioned, Anthony Lembo is in the Akron area. I am still leaning but if there is something I can help with please let me know.
