Howdy!
Thought I'd introduce myself and ask a couple questions. I'm Dale, 62, and been a guitar and music nut since maybe 13 years old. I have a few guitars but not good at playing them, but I thought I'd take a shot at building a David Gilmour tribute Black Strat (not an exact replica) primarily because I'm not about to pay the prices wanted for used Fender offerings! Here's my Warmoth order:
