Every build is a learning experience for me. I just finished my 5th as a gift for my son-in-law and in many ways it's much better than what I previously built and thought was just wonderful. Each build just gets better and better. Don't try to rush it, it'll come. I kinda try to focus on one or two aspects of a build to improve on...this time it was dual piezos in the bridge. Next time I need to focus more on my fretting. But I find that if I start to obsess about doing something "perfect" then it never turns out half as well as I know I can do and I don't enjoy the process. And I enjoy this too much to do that. Have fun. Make joyous noise.

In my earlier post I mentioned Woodcraft when I meant Woodsmith. Woodsmith.com (I think thats right) has tons of woodworking tips and ideas, they publish nice periodicals as well.

There is also a large amount of information at, or available through:

Luth.org

frets.org

stewmac.com has a free tips section, In fact they just sent me a newsletter link to an article on guitar label making.

Theres is also good stuff at Luthiers mercantile.

The list goes on, I will add more as I think of them.
