G'day Steve, welcome Mate! Nothing wrong with 59 years of age as thats my age too! It is a great friendly forum we have here and a good place to start your research into guitar building. I started building in 2007 but researched and read all I could for two years. So much to learn and so little time.

Cheers

Alan
