Hello,
My name is Richard. I know dubtrub and a few others from different forums. I'm addicted to guitars of all shapes, styles and models. I've been spending a lot of time recently trying to hone my skills at making guitar bodies and necks so I find build threads extremely interesting. I'm mostly a Fender guy but I've always loved The Ventures and their cool Mosrites. Then when Johnny Ramone came along with his chainsaw strumming and low hung white Mosrite I knew I wanted to own one some day.
I used to run a little garage punk record label but that kinda folded when the economy took a dive. I play in a garage punk band called Cooterfinger.
My wife and I have two little ones running around the house. Both are loud, unruly and don't pay rent so they are pretty much like every drummer I've ever been in a band with. No offense to any drummers out there. I was a drummer in a few bands myself. Just speaking from my own experiences here.
Anyway, that's pretty much me in a nutshell. I'm here to soak up all I can and hopefully contribute on occasion.
Hello from Blue Ridge, Georgia.

Hi Richard....welcome to the forum! I always admire you guys that can build guitars, and turn them into fine musical instruments......I only play and listen, and lots of great threads here to learn from.

Re: Hello from Blue Ridge, Georgia.
Thanks guys,
Yes, I would like to attempt a Mosrite build one day. I've made quite a few guitar bodies but I've only made two necks so I would like to get a bit more comfortable with that first. It's definitely on the list though.
