First kit build -- by hide glue

Post by George » Fri Dec 07, 2012 5:49 pm

Hello,

I’m new to the forum and new to guitar building. I’m about to start my first build using StewMac’s Rosewood Dreadnought Kit.

I’m letting the wood acclimatize for a few days and have been reading everything I can find related to guitar building to try to boost my confidence.

I have woodworking experience and one successful neck reset under my belt. I replaced the worn-out fingerboard at the time of the reset also.

I’m excited to be a member of the forum and looking forward learning from fellow members. Can’t wait to start building jigs and molds.

Very glad to be here.

George
