Hi, my names Niel and I'm an addict!  To building guitars that is lol

 

Started messing about at the beginning of lockdown and now starting number 13. Learnt loads watching youtube and using fb groups and still learning but loving every minute of it. Haven't tried an acoustic yet but one day.

 

Anyway bought a few slotted fretboards from the site and have found the youtube channel so been watching the lives from a couple of years ago. Wish I'd known they were on the go at the time.

 

Cheers

@nsj Welcome to the forum Niel

I see you are in Scotland, so am I. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙌 

 

Have a good look around the site and forums, and when you have questions, just ask. 👍 

 

If you want to, it would be good to see some pictures of your creations so far. 

I haven’t built an acoustic guitar yet either, I’ve been having too much fun building electric guitar. I do plan on making acoustic guitars in the future but I need to have a climate controlled workshop environment for that and I need some different tools also. It all has a monetary cost and time setting it all up. I have only just moved to Scotland so I have a house to renovate first. 

I look forward to talking to you further.

@nsj   Welcome to the group from another fellow Scot here. I started during lockdown too, purely because I found Mark's livestreams and this group of helpful people. I'm still on my third build, but it has come to a stop, too many other things to do. I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of your builds.

Cheers guys, just trying to figure out how the forum works so I can add pics. I'm used having an add image button that you click then add a direct link for an image but this is all alien to me lol

@nsj  I'm using an android phone, there's a paper clip symbol labelled Attach Files just below the text box, clicking that pops up another window where I select "my files" where I can find my photos.
