[will simms]

Hello everyone...
My name is will simms and I live in spouth Louisiana.
A search for a diy bending iron led me to this site and,,,wow,
what a wealth of information. I started building guitars a few years back,when I have the time.
Started with a dreadnought kit, top warped and had to start over it, but I still enjoy working with wood and guitars.
Have been playing since I was 12 (I,m 56 now) and though it may sound strange, I enjoy almost all the genres of music
to some degree. Jethro Tull to George Strait and in between. I must state undeniably that I hate rap. Sorry... but
that's my opinion. I own several guitars, 1947 Martin D28, Breedlove Maple cutaway, 2 dobros, 1 pedal steel (inherited from my father)
2 Fender tele's,1 Bill Lawrence Swamp Caster, Ovation Stereo Legend(1976, I think) and a Fender Tele bass.
Looking forward to picking the brains of the well informed as I attempt to build a OOO and a O28vs.

See you on the forums,
Will
