So this one time I really wanted to build a guitar. Now I have 10. I don’t really play the guitar.
10 FINISHED guitar?!?!
what's your secret, how do you finish a project?!
Do things just bad enough that you’re never satisfied and you keep punishing yourself until you get it perfect.
So I have 9 guitars and one I like 🤣
Wow, nice!
I managed to build just 1 and realized having to wait for the paint to dry and the varnish to cure was just too much torture for me to endure.
That’s why you do 3 at a time. You can have them spread all over the house so you’re constantly working and reminded of how you’re probably in over your head but if you don’t get a perfect guitar you’ve wasted all your time and money!!!!
How did you learn to build your first? I do play some guitar, but I've always put off actually learning to build the first, because I just wanna go straight to building 8 string baritone monsters.
I bought a kit for the first one. So easy. Very satisfying. Just do it. Amazon has a bunch. eBay too. It’s about $150.
The hard part began when I said “shit, I can build this myself” and then started cutting wood. Not so easy it turns out.
