Help Chris Durham build a new guitar!
Story
Hi! My name is Chris. I am asking for money so that I may build my ideal electric guitar.
I will be using the donations to buy parts for an electric guitar that I would like to build. I have a particular vision in mind and have already made plans for this project, specifying the exact parts I intend on using for this project.
Playing the guitar is one of my primary coping mechanisms in battling depression.
I need help financially because I am a full-time caregiver to my elderly parents, who provide me with room and board but cannot afford much to pay for my hobbies.
I do have some experience with upgrading the hardware and electronics on a cheap guitar that I bought at a pawn shop. I would like to expand on that experience by creating something that I would find truly rewarding.
