I live in Gloucestershire, on the border with Wales, in the UK and I've been a professional furniture maker for 34 years. I've had a love affair with guitars and basses for about 50 years and finally got round to making one with a '37 D-28 kit from Blues Creek.

Im fascinated with the technicalities of it all and determine to get it right, so I'm setting the record for the longest time to make a guitar! Finally finished assembling the body last week with just the three mistakes so far, but with a lot of help from John Hall and local Luthier Davidson Instruments, I've got round them.

Just figuring out the neck angle /bridge slot/saddle compensation - I never realised just how complicated acoustic guitars were!

Welcome, Dave. Glad you found your way to the KGF.

Hi Dave
they are a bit more difficult than a bird house but you have to start somewhere. We are here to help. An expert is an amateur that made more mistakes and learned from them till he made about all that he could.

Have fun Share mistakes and successes that is how we all learned.

Hi Dave. Welcome.
If you are so inclined share some pictures of what's on your bench. We'd love to see how it's coming along for you.
