Hey all!!
First I want to say that this is a great and welcoming community. I have spend many hours reading the forums when I was suppose to be reading for class, and I never found it a waste of time. My personal favorite section is the In Progress Section of the forums, you people are just amazing with what you create and actually make. Cheers to you all and I hope all your guitar dreams come true!
With the thank you out of the way, I am finally given the chance to join all of you in this life hobby. I always dreamed of building a guitar but sadly I lived in an apartment and did not have the space and resources to make my dream come true. I have moved my self into a house and now have room for the tools.
Sadly I won't get any of the tools until December (birthday gift), but I am not planning to waste any time. I have purchased this books to read until then:
1.) Make Your Own Electric Guitar by Melvyn Hiscock
2.) Guitar Player Repair Guide: How to Set-Up, Maintain, and Repair Electrics and Acoustics by Dan Erlewine
3.) How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great!: The Electric Guitar Owner's Manual (Guitar Player Book) by Dan Erlewine
4.) Another book.. but forgot the name and don't have it with me... it comes with a guitar plan already.... if that helps
Hopefully by the time the tools come, I will be ready to start on my first build.
My questions are:
1.) Are there any more books that are worth the read?
2.) Which tools should I start(brand, price, ..etc) with?
Thanks,
