I'm 50, married,kids grown and gone. Sawyer in sawmill, 25 years. Played in band at 17 then didn't play again till 5 years ago. Jam every Sat. nite with guys my age playing AC/DC to Zep. Thought about building from scratch, got all the books,ideas and tools but settled on my first to be FRANKINSTIENED. Got parts from E-bay, Warmoth, Carvin, Allparts,and Fender. Got it together so far to the nut and ready to glue it in(Earvana), and string it up and set it up and see if "IT LIVES". My knees pop and snap but are fine, and I also suck playing...but who cares..... it's fun.
