Hi everyone thankyou for yr response. i'll be looking at the resources i have at my disposal and make sure i see through the reset this time around.
IMHO Brian and alotta of the tutorials on the site were great and inspiring. it really make noobs like me wanna try things out. but some of these projects are also really harder than they look. and depending how much wood, arts&craft, related experience you have, the results could vary greatly. after a great swirling experience, an incomplete refret and now having a box of bodies n necks laying ard, i know i had fun.
but its surely clear now. when i have the money, i'll be buying them made by real luthiers but when i have time, i'll continue messing around with these tutorials
