Hi,
I have been reading this forum for sometime now and finally joined.
As far as I can tell the members are very helpful and friendly to all, a great group!
I started building guitars a year ago when I retired. My goal is to build six, one for each grandson.
Three are finished and number four is coming along pretty good so far. I don,t believe I,ll be able to stop at six, I,m having such a great time building them. The information in this forum has provided
Invaluable help to me and I,m sure to continue to visit.

Hi Rbab, got a name?
Happy to have you on board, we'd all love to see your guitars too if you are able to post pics.
I hear you on the grandkids, I have 4 to build for eventually.

I started building in the late 90s and did 14 my first year. I am now up to 158 with 159 and 160 getting started tomorrow. I am indeed a lucky man as I do this for a living . My wife works with me. I never thought it would take off like it did.
Enjoy the Grandkids and the building. we are here to help.
