Well, after a few months of lurking in the shadows of this amazing forum, im finally mustering up enough courage to post for my first time. Here's a little background about myself if your care to read it.
My name is Austin, im 19, and about to leave for luthier school in September. Ill be attending a 6 week class right outside of Atlanta at "Atlanta Guitar Works" with Tim Joy. Im really looking forward to getting into the craft, and hopefully making a living out of something i think I'll truly enjoy. I've got a connection with Chris Dipinto of Dipinto guitars that will hopefully help me out on the repair end of business.
Alright, enough about me. Thanks for posting so many informative topics and i plan on using and absorbing as much information as i can!

:D
