Exactly. That first build is not supposed to be perfect. It's just supposed to look like a guitar. From what I'm told, here on in you're supposed to tweak the process on each subsequent build.

FWIW yours looks just fine. My first isn't perfect but I understand that you see it's flaws as some reflection of your mistakes or inadequacies. It's not like getting a call from the school principle when one of your kids gets called to the office for getting into a scrap on the playground or talking back to the teacher.
