Hello, my name is Aaron Roush and I live in Portland, OR and have been interested in making guitars since high school (about 12 years ago). I have built one electric (Les Paul with set neck) and have started on an accoustic and my second electric guitar (all black Strat copy). I am going to attempt to keep the blog updated as the work on my guitar project(s) continues. The Strat copy will be my first guitar for an actual customer, but I hope to be able to support my hobby and continue building and learning the art of lutherie. This guitar is being built for the son of a friend at work and I got the idea of putting the progress on a blog so that she can see how the project is going without me having to bring in parts or pictures as I build them and so other people can see my work. I do not have an official business as I am still just an amature guitar builder, but I would like to market my guitars mainly to the Christian market, but anyone is welcome to inquire about building them a guitar. I chose Rugged Cross Guitars as the name for my "business" name to remind me of the importance of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for humankind some 2000 years ago. I plan to add different Christian art, symbols, and scripture to my guitars and really want this to be a ministry opportunity for me. Well I guess this is all for now, I will add pictures and descriptions as I get them (I have just started cutting the body and have some pictures, but still need to format them for the web).
Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy this blog.
Aaron

"The Old Rugged Cross" is perhaps my favorite hymn. My Dad use to sing it when he sang solos at church when I was growing up.
Good luck with you blog.
Love,
Dad
I am glad you've gotten this blog up and running. It is interesting to see your progress.
Love, Mom
