Good thread, ps2gamer. I play the guitar and I started about 17 years ago. Hrrm, don\'t try to guess how old I am. I still have the first electric I bought in 1984, a Fender Squier that\'s been heavily modified over the years. I also have a 1989 Fender American Standard Stratocaster, a cheapo classical guitar, and my gem, which is a Taylor 714ce. (

Right now I\'m building another guitar with the help of a friend. It\'s going to be a flattop acoustic 6-string in the "jumbo" profile. I\'m using Imbuia for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top. I\'ve just spent all weekend doing some real labor on this project, and it feels great. We cut the mold using his bandsaw on Saturday, and I spent several hours sanding the Imbuia today. At this rate it should take about 1.5-2 years to finish it.... :crap: This is the first one I\'ve built from scratch, so naturally it\'s going to take a while. I hope to document all the steps in this job and the decisions we\'re making on a website, so when I complete that, I may post a note about it here. Check you all later.
