Winston # 1 - HD-28

Post by Winston_S »

Kit arrived last Friday. Thought it would never get here. :-)

Was going to setup in my shop at home, but the RH is just too high. However here at work where its fine I have delegated a small corner of the shop as my work area, right across from the area where I also work on my model ships. :-)

I see that I will also have to bring in my camera from home. Cell phone cameras just don't do it for me. :-)

Thanksgiving weekend here for us so not much will get done this weekend.

The Winston Guitar Company. It has a certain ring to it.
Enjoy the journey!
If you don't become addicted, there must be something wrong with you.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to this.

Addicted???? HA!!! I don't get addicted to anything.......I haven't tried at least once. I know, I know, I'm already thinking of the next one....:-)

Had a chance to run into the shop today so I brought the camera with me. Here's some better pics of the kit (from Blues Creek Guitars). Now that I've had a chance to have a closer look at everything I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of everything. Now if I can just do it justice. :-)

That's going to be one fine looking guitar when it is finished! Keep up the good work!

Wow Winston, you are moving right along. Is it going to be a girl, or a boy?
