Hi all, excited to be here. Starting my hand at building some guitars in my garage, so should be fun!

Welcome from Bulverde, Texas! Would love to see pics of the progress on your guitars. Chuck

Welcome from Austria. If you send four more replies you can post anywhere on the forum. Do you have a favourite wood species? Also don’t listen to the Texans. Everyone else is fine but the Texans… well the site will teach you how to get along with them. (In case this isn’t obvious this is a heavily repeated (nowadays mainly by me) joke)

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Welcome from Crossville TN. See if you can find @DLJeffs and @Arn213 there are several more builders if you can sort through the thread. Just look for "guitar build"

Thank you! Starting my journey, so it will be a long one, but hoping to have some fun!

Awesome! I am a big fan of some of the weirder (for guitar) woods - kauri, korina, pine, those sorts of things.

Korina is black limba right? Kauri I know from being a native kiwi and I wouldn’t be allowed to call myself a woodworker if I didn’t know pine.

Yeah Korina is black or white limba, depending on the location.

Welcome. I'm a fine wood pen collector, but I know what a guitar is and it's the wood that counts. :-)

Welcome from Nashville. Two really good books (they come as a set) are by Ervin Somogyi. The Responsive Guitar, and Making the Responsive Guitar. Lots of talk and experiment with different tone woods.
