Hello people of the guitar world.
I haven't posted for quite some time now but thought I would update you on my journey since being bitten by the guitar makers bug and hitting a milestone in guitar building. My first contact with Mark was in January 2018 and since the initial 2 builds with Mark & Carol I have now completed a further 20 builds of various types in the Isle of Man. Still can't thank Mark & Carol enough for introducing me to Guitar building and Ayr in Scotland (absolutely favourite place in the UK) and can highly recommend their courses to anyone who is thinking of starting this journey for themselves.
My last three builds have been an OM style, an 0-28 Parlour style and my take on PRS electric, now a semi hollow with an "F" hole as below.
Its great to see this website is still growing with new members even though the costs are also rising.
So keep on building
Regards
Mike J
Trying to make a living out of a hobby doesn't work 🙂

Very nice work indeed. I’ll say what I always say when I see an acoustic build, one day I must have a go at building an acoustic. However, I’m always scared because I know how obsessed I am with making electric guitars and I’m afraid I’ll get hooked on acoustics as well. 😂 It’s all a drug, designed to leave you with very little money. 😂 I don’t care though, I’m not interested in money, I’m rich in love and passion for making soulful instruments.
Great guitar, keep making them. 🏴✊
Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸
