Hi All, been lurking for a while now. Did first build Les Paul during Lockdown 1 (UK), about to start Flying V for Lockdown 2.

Welcome @fordy99 - there's a few of us out this way in the flatlands of East Anglia 👍 

What persuaded you to start building your first? one?

Always loved guitars, got a Fender Telecaster (real, not a kit) for 40th. Retired early November 2019 and treated myself to Gibson Les Paul Standard. My birthday was during Lockdown 1, so lovely wife bought me a LP kit from Guitar Kit Fabric. I wanted a real white Flying V for Xmas but got surprise kit instead. It’s very addictive.

and a warm welcome from me as well. I took a while to actually get started but then got a tad obsessed.... thankfully I'm not over that yet.

Enjoy the community... there's a lot of support here and Mark has a lot of confidence, especially in us.

Welcome to our little world.

Warning - guitar building can damage your wealth but is very good for you!

I'm ready to get started on my 5th build - this time an acoustic following the online course - need to get jigs, templates etc sorted and watch the course videos from end to end a couple of times.

You will find loads of support on here - also the excellent live streams from Mark are worth doing live to get all of the comments!

Measure once........
Measure again.........
Sod it - make tea!
