The Hub

Hello,

Just heard of this group and decided to join. My name is John Read and I live in Indianapolis, IN, USA. I have been building Martin style acoustic guitars for 5 years and am on scratch build #28. I am also the website administrator for both kitguitarsforum.com and asiartisans.org/guitarmaker.org. Loothgroup looks to be a fantastic, next-generation communication tool and I look forward to joining into the conversations.

Here's my current progress on #28. Martin 0 body style. Flamed Walnut and Red Spruce sourced from the mountains of West Virginia.

I build in my spare time out of a 7'x7' workshop in my basement along with some bigger tools I pull out into the garage and sidewalk outside. My personal guitar page is offline these days, but I'd be happy to share some completed projects here as desired.
