Howdy...From Texas

[Franko]

Hello everyone! My name is Frank...friends call me Franko. I live in Southeast Texas near Galveston south of Houston. I've played guitar for almost 30 years and I'm currently the worship leader at our church. I started working on my own guitars many years ago whether it was set up or changing out pick ups or other mods. Over the last 5 years or so, I've started doing more work on guitars. I've done some repairs like bridges lifting and cracks, I've made and replaced nuts and saddles and I've done quite a few set ups. I got some tutoring from a great guy by the name of Bill Badeaux and I feel I'm ready to do more. At the time I'm writing this, I have not yet replaced a top, removed a neck and reinstalled it or even built a guitar, but I plan to do these very soon. I love the guitar and I really enjoy working on them. I hope to learn a lot here. God Bless you all.

Welcome Frank! I'm always interested in knowing who the local luthiers are so I looked up Bill Badreaux. For those who don't know anything about him, I have a couple links here. Interesting reading and some gorgeous inlay!
