A thesis statement is usually explained in one sentence and appears at the end of the introductory paragraph. It must limit your subject in a single idea and emphasize something significant and specific about your topic. A thesis statement should not be a general statement of the fact; it must be incredibly focused. An effective thesis statement is specifically describing the topic you have addressed, and explain your goal and claim about the topic.
Characteristics of Effective thesis statement

YOU qualify YOUR claims >:-(
It can also often really help to expend a little effort illustrating the relevance to the reader.
I don't feel the closing sentence of your opening paragraph adequately describes what you are striving to achieve
...yes...very nice....but what has it to do with fretting rosewood necks or cutting out delicately shaped sound holes...? ;-)
