Eric,

Thanks for stopping by the site. I certainly can attest to the rewarding feeling when finishing a project. I’m looking forward to that extra special element of being able to keep creating music on the creation after it is complete.

Please continue to visit the site.

Guitar making can be both a frustrating, and rewarding experience, starting with a kit is probably a good idea. In woodworking, there is satisfaction at the end of a project, but in guitar building, the reward comes when you make music on your creation. There is nothing like it.

Good Luck.

I will be taking notes too, Mark!

Our granddaughter # 2, who is now 7, and our son-in-law, both play the guitar, so there might be some luthier work for me at some point in the future.

Hi Al,

Thanks for the support. I’m looking forward to this project. I’ve watched Handmade Music as well – inspiring to see those artists/craftsmen working and producing such beautiful and functional instruments. They are not only visually beautiful but, also beautiful to the ear when played.

Please let me know what you think as I progress with this one.

Hi, Mark.

The guitar will be a great project! I have NO idea how to build one; but I have watched many episodes of Handmade Music, and was totally enthralled by the skills shown by the artists making the musical instruments! I will follow your build from beginning to end.
