Nice guitar but you're not building it. You're putting it together.

Certainly is - sold it late last year, but loved it while I had it. Really enjoyable guitar to play, and really high quality.

Did you advertise it on here using that same picture? I feel like I've seen it before.

I used that pic when I was going to sell the tele a couple of months back, and have shown it (the tele) off before, I think. I listed the Edwards here, but sold it on eBay.

If you buy boxed furniture at Ikea, do you build it? or do you put it together?

If you take a load of stuff and stack it, you can say you're building a fort. Semantics and all that jazz. There isn't any confusion as to the fact this guitar is being put together from parts so it doesn't really matter which word he uses to describe the putting together.

Even down to the haircut, that perfectly describes Irish girl. In fact she drew a lot of comics and the comic version of herself is quite similar looking.

Put your panties back on dude, no big deal. It's just when I think of building a guitar I think of it being built from scratch. That's all. :P
