Hey folks --

Just taking an initial look around. The level of examples shown is quite a bit above my own pay grade, but no better way to learn than being surrounded by copious information. My main interests are pedestrian; I love Teles in their various incarnations; some Strats, L.P. Specials etc. Singer by birth; guitar and fiddle player by passion; wannabee in both categories, but I work hard at it. Have a lot of time on my hands these days and want to fill it with guitars. Need much more info than I have, so am hopeful that basic questions are permissible to a degree.

Don't use Pay Pal, but would like to donate to what seems a very productive effort. The good old post office will have to do it for me; make the money order out to Brian or the forum ... or?

Well, glad to have found you folks.

welcome to the forum.

basic questions are ok but please use the search funtion first most of the real basics have been covered if a search doesnt turn up any thing then by all means ask away.

Wow ... I seem to remember Warmoth or Boogie Body their predecessor starting out using converted baseball bat making machinery. Looks like you're keeping faith with the tradition
