The biggest thing is to know yourself.
Do you generally finish what you start.
How many hobbies do you already have?
Are you pretty handy with your hands?
Do you build or fix things as a hobby?
Do you want to spend your time building guitars or playing guitars?
Can you commit to about 100 hours of work?
Of the people who buy a kit to start a build - 75% never start.
Of the ones who start - 90% never finish.
Of the people who do finish - 99% of them are hooked and build more instruments.
Next is why do you want to do this?
To save money - wrong... You won't save any money especially once you count the tools and supplies...
Generally hobby instruments fall into one of these 3 categories:
1. Unplayable hot mess
2. Instrument that looks great but doesn't play well or sound particularly good
3. Instrument that plays and sounds great but doesn't look good...
