After a few years of research and study I have answered most of my serious build questions; mostly about the neck joint/top geometry. I know others will arise though.
My motivation is the desire to mate two passions, guitar and fabrication. As a sideline, after pricing factory customs, the ability to select woods allows you to build combinations that usually involve significant upcharges. For instance, price substituting for a redwood top of wood binding. I don't expect to nail perfection early but the satisfaction of the daily work and choice of materials is appealing. I've put my kit pkg in the cart at LMI and waiting to pull the trigger. It's a parlor with a redwood top. Kit price is about $610. I made a list of tools I need that I'm short on and that came to about $200, but plan to add as needed.
