First kit build -- by hide glue

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

And I thought you guys knew each other. I was jealous I didn't know the secret friend name.

Nope, Tem, just an honest mistake :-)
