Hey,

Thanks to all of you who have welcomed me aboard! I'm looking forward to planning out my first build. I'd like to do something along the lines of a neck through version of a fender robben ford, I think these are one of the coolest looking guitars out. I'm not trying to save money by building my own own guitar, I just like the idea of building stuff myself and I think a guitar will still be cheaper than my last project which was a resto on a car that cost me 15g and 3 years. The only reason I got out of it as cheap as I did was that I did everything myself. Anyway, enough about all that, stay tuned for my updates on plans and so forth coz I really will appreciate input. If there's any other Aussies (pronounced "ozzies" for my american friends ) out there, I'd like to talk to someone about local quality timber supplies. I found a good luthiers supply in sydney that has good bits and services like pre slotted finger boards, so that will definately help for my first one.

Take it easy boys and girls

There's quite a smattering of down under's around the board and there was a thread fairly recently about timber and hardware suppliers in oz - not that i can find it at the moment. Oh, and there's Perry Ormsby who is one wicked wicked builder !

Welcome, and good to see a bit more representation from the A,U of S

Here's a link to a timber merchant, which may help you out.

I live near the one in Melbourne, but they also have one up in Sydney.

Good luck and I'll read you later.
