So I'm going to begin building my first guitar tonight, electric of my own design. Received my first shipment of wood yesterday, African Mahogany, which came extremely roughsawn but after just a few minutes of sanding I can tell there is going to be some really nice grain pattern to work with. I'll be posting pics along the way, wish me luck!

Enjoy!!

And remember - any "detours" you encounter are just part of the process. I learned more about recovery on my first guitar than anything else. Have fun!
