Oh My. The timing is so bad. My garage/workshop will be part of a house remodel this year. Even if I had the time, I won't have the shop and building on the patio is not an option. So I need to pass this one for my first buiild.
Maybe late this year or early next for my first one.
I will definitely be following this thread though.

Just caught up with this thread.....great idea to have a newbie challenge!

How about an "AARP challenge" some time?
Old codgers....er, luthiers over 55 years old only [:Y:]

Cheers,
Dave F.

Great idea, Dave. I could build one guitar, and enter it in two challenges! :D

Thanks

Another newbie here who can't make it happen in the first half of this year. Maybe the second half of 2013 or next year.
