Seems the very first thing i do in here is a mistake.. Story of my internet life I guess. 

Hi. I'm Davie from Scotland, nice to meet you guys.

I'm inspired by seeing what you're all doing in here with the simplicity and often complexity of your builds. I mostly tinker with solid body instruments. I've been turning badly treated 3rd and 4th hand guitars back to sweetness and customising for friends for years and many guitars have passed through my hands. There's a photo of my most recent tinkering on my profile.

After seeing all this wonderful luthierian ingenuity I decided to buy a box and build something for my daughter. I will probably build a bolt on design as I have a couple of necks collecting dust.

So.. Thanks for the inspiration and advise, also apologies for any mistooks using the website.. (How prophetic.)
