Dear friends:

It is my pleasure to let you know that Luthier Built has begun its 'soft' launch.

At this time you are welcome to visit this new community-based resource and, if interested, register for an account. I particularly draw your attention to the site's short getting started guide, which is online for all to read through. As stated there, more information about the features the site provides to players, to luthiers, and to others involved in lutherie will be made available in the near future.

Luthier Built cuts across all categories of string instruments. It complements other outstanding resources on the web, one of which is the Guitar Luthiers Network. You can visit the site at http://luthierbuilt.net.

All comments and questions, which I encourage you to post here, are welcome.

Best to all,

Bob
