Hello from Atlanta!

Post by whd1952 »

I just joined and needless to say there is a wealth of information here. I have two builds under my belt, a Strat copy from StewMac and a Fender Strat that I bought unassembled and put together with the options I wanted.
I have another kit coming, its a Rickenbacker copy of a 325. Hopefully I can get some good advice from everyone here as I put it together!

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Sounds like your an electric guy!
What should we call you?

Hi,

Welcome!

I'm not an electric builder, but I've repaired a lot of them. I've restored a 1965 339 style semi-hollow body and I have a cheap 1961 335 style coming. Since it's a relatively cheap guitar, I don't feel the need to restore, so I'll be totally redoing it.

We're all here to help, so don't be shy about questions.

Call me Walt
I also have a 1974 Ibanez Acoustic, a 2005 Alvarez Acoustic, and a 2015 Epiphone Les Paul Plus Top Pro. For a amp I have a Boss Katana MK II.
Not much in the way of pedals, a Boss DS-1, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Echo, Chorus and a Tremolo.

Hey Walt. Stick around long enough and we'll have you building an acoustic from scratch. Right Diane??

Welcome Walt. I’ve never built an electric, but, have a grandson who may want one. So, I’ll be following your posts.
Hope you enjoy this site. You’ll find people are very friendly and more than willing to help.
Glad to have another Georgian here. I live a few hours east of you in Augusta.
Take care and enjoy the ride.
