I’m set to make an acoustic guitar for my grandaughter. I doubted a handmade 1st attempt would be ready for Christmas, so I bought a kit from rockler. Has anyone done one of these? Any insight you have would greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Denny

If you go down the page a little there is one of forums dedicated to kit building. I have been a member of the Luthiers forum for a long time and like this site there is a wealth of information, lots of photo’s and generally freindly people. Mike
