A quick video of my very first build. 3 string guitar and amp. Also my first attempts at plying. I am having a lot of fun with this. Already planning other builds.

Nicely done Carl.  As others have noted, you're off and running.  I really dig the amp.

Nice git and love the amp.   Ooh.  Nice start on the playing.  Have fun and you are going to get good fast.

Both the amp and the guitar look great. You obviously have the feel for the playing too so a really great start.

nice, well done, you've got all you need now!! Have fun. Check out Shane's video lessons. Think they're still there under "How To Play" at the top of the Nation page...I also like the way you're just feeling your way around. Keep doing lots of that : -)
