It doesn’t matter how many you’ve made, as a builder there’s a moment when you first string up a new guitar. When you first bring it up to pitch. When the neck doesn’t snap off and the top doesn’t implode. When you strum it and hear it sing for the very first time. It just never gets old...and I LOVE it!

I'm just starting my 70th guitar and can attest to the fact that this is still true.

Just don't rush it at the end to get there ;)
