Me and Blue Dog are Building a D28 Kit

Post by Dolamike »

Hello forum!

My name is Michael and I am building my first guitar kit. Along with me will be my shop mate Blue. We're going to share our progress here and would love any advice and guidance the forum has for us as we undertake this adventure.

I purchased a D-28 kit from John at Blues Creek along with a mold and radius dishes. So far I have been doing prep work but I think we are just about ready to get this build started. Top notch kit John, really impressed.

Below are some photos of our setup. Thanks in advance for sharing yor knowledge and wisdom with a first time builder. Much appreciated!

Welcome to the forum Michael and that's a fine looking kit you got there. And Blue dog looks pretty fine too. He'll make a great shop mate.
Looks like you're ready to go. You will receive lots of interest and help with any questions here, as well as from John.

I started with a kit from LMI 18 years ago. I'm working on #27 now and still love building them.
Looking forward to seeing your guitar build progress!!

Welcome aboard! You made a great choice with your first kit.

Shop dogs definitely improve the building experience.

Hey Michael. Congratulations on making the move to build your first kit. You’ll get plenty of help here, just ask away. John makes a really good kit and is a wealth of knowledge. His videos on YouTube cover almost any question you can think of.
I can tell this is your first kit. Your shop is WAY too clean, organized, and uncluttered!!😂🤣👹
Take care and good luck.
Bo
