There are some cheap kits (US$100) with the body and neck already made but raw finish and not attached.



You also need to glue the bridge to the body.
These are a good starter kit to check out your finishing skills.
I've made 4 and donated all of them.

I upgrade the tuners (they supply nasty ones!) and make bone nuts and saddles and use bone pins (they supply plastic)



Here's one with double cutaway's currently on eBay; https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-000-...4383.l4275.c10
