Howdy everyone !! New to the site and just wanted to introduce myself. I have been playing acoustic guitar for more years than I would like to remember, mostly classic country mixed with some western swing. Started doing repairs and such a couple of years ago. Have done a neck reset and some fret jobs. Learned alot from every mistake I made. Now I am going to try my hand at building. Going to start off slow with a Uke or Fiddle and move up to acoustic guitars when I feel like I am ready. I have built custom gunstocks with carvings and inlays for about 30 years, I really like working with wood.

So I will be asking ALOT of questions and picking your brains. Hope that you dont get to tired of me laughing6-hehe Looking forward to meeting and talking with everyone.

Take it easy
Bill

Hey Newb, :) (Bill)

If your ambition is guitar, build one, no need to start on something smaller, they're just as complex witht he same issues... just smaller.
