Welcome to Dragondreams
This site is simply my own take on building guitars and making music as a hobby. It's never been intended as a definitive "how to" guide, more a place to show off my mistakes!
Music has been the one constant in my life. Which is not to say I'm any good at it. But when all else has changed, and people have come and gone, music has remained a constant companion and source of endless fascination.
This site started around the same time I got seriously interested in learning to play, and subsequently build, six-string guitars.
It's a hobby that has led to some great friendships in a short time, and some of those friends are listed elsewhere on the site.
On the site are some pages where you can find the stories behind the handful of guitars I've completed since starting out on this hobby in 2007. I've tried, where possible, to show the builds in a "warts'n'all" way. Where things went wrong is just as instructive as where they went right.
Vanity has also led me to upload some of my own compositions and performances for your amusement or pleasure.
"Blog" is the section where you'll find some collected ramblings, usually about guitars or guitar playing.
If nothing else, I hope you find something of interest here, even if it's just an excuse to wile away a few minutes while eating lunch at your desk! ;-)
There's a forum linked to this site. It costs nothing to join, but a sense of humour is essential!
Regards,
P.
