Hi From Washington State

[mike243]

Hello all,

I'm Mike243 from Snohomish, WA. I have a couple of Made in Japan (MIJ) acoustic guitars, which are in great shape, but could also probably benefit from neck resets. I also bought a Seagull S6 original a couple of years ago, love it, and that's what I've been using to learn to play.

I'm retired and would like to get a really nice guitar, but that's not going to happen. I started researching kit builds by reading books and guitar forums, watching YouTube videos and such. I was leaning toward getting an LMI kit, and just saw they announced they're going out of business. So I ordered a partial kit with the main pieces and figured I look for the minor pieces over time. This is a forum I added for support and surely advice.

Thanks,

Welcome Mike - I'm not too far north of you on Vancouver Island. You'll find lots of good advice from friendly people here. Keep us posted on how you're doing, and ask lots of questions! Bruce W.

John Hall at Blues Creek Guitars is a great resource.

You shouldn't have any trouble filling in any gaps in what you need.

Thanks for the welcoming posts. I've been spending a lot of time reading the forum and other resources. I've seen a lot of good information on here and intend to mine it like gold.

Yes, Bruce, I'm just south of Vancouver Island, but it's a pretty long island, north and south. I've read several of your posts, and I won't be shy about posting if I get stuck.

Mike
