I'm a fair way down the path of actually
building guitars. Got a £70 Tele kit; several
How To books; some specialist tools including a sander and a router and have been following the Crimson Guitar Vids on YouTube (

I've also got a Harmony H77 on which I'm going to experiment - including adding a Bigsby.
