kraut Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 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.

Batfink Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 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 ! Jem Quote Link to comment
