Hello! Saw your gourd guitars and was blown away. I have a gourd that I wanted to build a banjo but seeing your guitars has made me change my mind. Did you follow some tutorial when you started putting these together? Is there something you can share with me as far basic building techniques?!? Thanks much, Sal
