I'm still working on learning theory, but its always a work in progress. I'm trying to find an acceptable medium between learning and having fun. I finished building my first guitar earlier last year, which was a mexican Strat, built with American Strat parts and damn good pick ups. I'd never set a guitar up before, but took my time and did a lot of reading. Now the damn thing plays flawlessly. I'm a little worries that I'll screw this one up during the build, but whatever it was all free, so if I get it wrong it doesn't really matter. Although setting up the Tele should be easier than the Strat...

ps. Rhythm isn't pointless!!! It's the foundation upon which everything else is built.
