Hi!

Post by Pablo »

Hello Everyone!
My name is Pablo. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
For a few years I've been beating around the bush with the idea of building my own guitar. Even though my dad is an amateur carpenter and I had access to a respectable amount of tools, I think I was intimidated by such a presition demanding work.
Finally, last month I decided to take the plunge and start working on it. My current proyect (the first), is a steel string acoustic guitar whoose plans I found on the net.
As like I said, this is my first guitar, at this stage I'm trying to get everything ready and build jigs and tools I'm going to need like the bender for the sides (almost ready), the arched workboards for the top and back (this is particulary quite a challenge for me to make), etc...
I'm sure this site will be of great help to accomplish this proyect. As english is not my native language I apologise in advance for any grammar mistakes.
Glad to be with you.
Cheers,
Pablo.
