Hey everyone!
My name is Robin, or Wabin, whatever you want to call me.
I just registered here so I thought I'd introduce myself in this post :)

I've been playing guitar for about 12 years and it's a big passion of mine.
Unfortunately since the summer of 2015 I wasn't able to play guitar anymore due to skin diseases on my hands, but it seems as though I've recovered a little bit from that as I recently been able to start playing again :)

So to celebrate that, I'm finally gonna finish up building my dream strat in a Mark Knopfler-ish red :)
Here are a photo of that project if anyone's interested.

Here's a photo of my current strat that I've had for almost 10 years, allthough I've recently changed the pickguard to a red pearl and also swapped out the knobs.
I accidentally broke one of the pots earlier today and I don't have a good photo of that one with the red pearl pickguard, so I'm gonna try get one for you if you are interested :)

Welcome.
It's a good place here.
If you like you can start a build thread in the Strat section.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I like the undergarment (but only on a woman with the appropriate accouterments).

Thanks guys, seems like a lot of nice people here :)
Yes, it feels great to be able to play again, after what was hell and I thought that I would never be able to play again.
So thanks :)

Hi, Robin. Nice to have you here in the Forum. All this time I've been using a microfibre cloth to buff my Strat. Now, you've shown me the error of my ways. Your idea may be better.

However, if I don't want to get in trouble, I may be stuck with my shorts. :lol:
