Hi everyone,

I'm new here do thought I would introduce myself :)

I'm Glenn abd I'm 41 from Dorset, England. Im now medically retired and have just purchased my first guitar.. A Jaxville Custom -Union Jack which I bought recently as I've always wanted to learn to play guitar but never got round to it.. Insure you can buy a "Roundtoit" somewhere :)

I purchased the guitar to compliment my PS3 game Rocksmith where you plug in a real guitar and learn / play.

I've also purchased a lovely Build it yourself Cigar Box practise amp from C.B and am really looking forward to building it and them using it.. I have a few ideas in the pipeline for modifications abd ill post those pictures as and when I build it... It will be my take on Old and New :)

I'm also a newly (2011) licensed Amateur Radio Op (M6ODC) after seeing a friends friend in the 80's who was a Ham and was blown away by the ability to talk all over the world (this was before the Internet).

Anyways, time to go but I'm happy to receive any / all tips regarding guitar tuition as ill probably teach myself at home due to my disability. I will also in the future want to build my own cigar case guitar...I'll probably buy the kit for my first build to learn the ropes

Best wishes Glenn

Welcome from another fairly new guy here.  I look forward to seeing your modifications on the practice amp project. I've built a few CBG's and now my son wants to build a CBG and amp from matching cigar boxes.  Great stuff! 

By the way, I love the Minecraft reference on your profile pic, my kids are addicted to that game!

hi Glenn, welcome to the Nation! (-:
