Hey Rachel welcome to the OLF - well almost, if you register and become a member then you will have lots of encouragement from the gang here.

You could not have a better teacher Rachel and congrats on developing your chops with HHG. [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap]

thanks Todd! Hello everybody, I'm having a great time working on my first guitar, Todd is a great teacher...hes making it look easy, and I know thats saying a lot! Last time I was over we got the tail and neck blocks glued in, along with the back braces. I cant wait to see/hear/play the finished product...heres some of my fave pics so far: top selection, sides in the mold and back braces getting glued....I'm a newbie, so any advice and reading suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hey Rachel,

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Mighty good progress so far. This is a very addictive craft, and very rewarding, too.

Nice Rachel! I love the HHG right out of the starting blocks. I did the same on my first and haven't looked back ever since.

STOP LURKING!!! Jump in...the water's fine!

Hi Rachel, I wish I'd had someone like Todd around when I wanted to build a guitar. I'm sure you know how lucky you are.

Welcome to OLF, Rachel. Glad to see you move from "lurking" category to "posting" category. There is lots of help to be had from the folks here.
