    Welcome to the addiction, there's no cure so just keep happily building! Learning to play them is quite easy, if it sounds good to you it's right, there's also alot of how to play stuff on here and you tube. I'm from Maine and we call Lewiston and Auburn the twin cities. I order parts from E bay and CB Gitty, lumber from either Lowes or I salvage it at my transfer station job from furniture.

      Amen. I just finished my first build, already on with the second.. There's something exceedingly satisfying about constructing a playable instrument. Sure wish I payed attention in shop class tho'.

    Hello, I'm up in Duluth. If you're up this summer, we could get together. I'm way into this addiction. Guitars and banjos and fiddles all over. Welcome to Nation.

      Thanks. If I can build a decent git and learn how to play it I might take you up on it.
