G'day from a New Member!!!

Post by Matt F » Thu Aug 09, 2012 10:43 am

G'day Everyone,

My name is Matt Fernyhough and i am a fellow luthier from Brisvegas. I am 38 years old and have been playing guitar, banjo, piano etc... since i was a young fella. I have built about 8 guitars now and am working on a Blackheart Sassafras cutaway and am lovin every minute of it. I was lucky enough to be brought up in a timber milling family in NSW and have always been cutting it in some way shape or form. I am currently meeting with a bunch of blokes every month at Collingwood Park near Ipswich (all are welcome) and the group has about 15 members now. Most of the blokes build guitars, lap steels, electrics etc.. however there is a bloke there that has built a min grand piano!!! I just thought i would say G'day to everyone and i look forward to gaining and sharing insight into building instruments.

Regards,


Matt.

Welcome! I'm new here myself.

You'll definitely have to posts some pics of your builds! Maybe also a build thread!
