First Time Building Success Kit OM
Howdy! Been playing guitar for 45 years or so, decided to finally build one. After lots of research, found Ken's site and bought the OM Success Kit. So far, it has proven to be excellent. Got the kit and have been cranking away between travel and other distractions. Have been lurking in the Forum and super impressed with the level of expertise and overall good information. My photos have WAY TOO MANY PIXELS so I am going to edit them down and post soon.
