About me

Location South West Coast, Victoria, Australia
Introduction Early 30's Male, from the Southwest Coast, Victoria, Australia. Got my first guitar when i was 9yro but did not take it serious untill i was 12yro. I realised i was a collector when i was in my early 20's, i had 8 back then. Over the years my collection grew, yard sales, opp shops, pawn shops, anywhere i could see a bargain. 5 years ago i decided to start teaching myself how to build them and repair them. No point owning all these guitars if i have to pay somebody to work on them for me! So here i am, writing a blog about my stuff ups and the times i strike gold... Well silver at least.
