Hi everyone! I'm new here. Wanted to make instruments from scratch since I was in middle school 🙂

I'm autistic and I live in the most beautiful country of Latinoamérica: Chile! (very biased opinion)

Now I'm starting my journey with a easy electric guitar build hopefully 👍

@antokkun Hi and Welcome, Your guitar building journey starts here, be warned it can be addictive!!🤪 It affects some of us worse than others, as you will see🤣🤣

Mark’s courses (available if you have a Premium Membership) are excellent and take you through the process step by step. Whether you follow the courses or not, there’s a wealth of talent and experience you can tap in to among your fellow members of these forums, don’t be afraid to ask if you hit a problem, or, better still, ask before you hit the problem!!

Enjoy the ride and please share the results of your hard work with us all.

Brian👍😃🎸

Thank you for having me. 

I'm 50 some years old and have loved guitars since I can remember. I have owned about 12 of them threw out my life, but the sad thing is....... I never learned to play them but never stopped my love of these beautiful sounds they make. I live in the United States and just happened to live just a few miles from the Roberto Venn school of Luthiers and am enrolling in to this falls courses . So I can build the my own sounds of beauty. I hope to learn from everyone here and going to school soon bringing back the knowledge I have learned. This is one of the best greatest web sites I have ever seen thank you so much for letting me join all you.
