So here goes, first ever guitar build, this is likely to be slow going, if I start to progress quickly at any point remind me I should sleep 🙂 Here’s the design so far, a 25.5” scale length Ba...

Great to see you getting started @tej. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Remember to measure twice & cut once. 📏📏🪚 🙏🙂🎶🎸
