well, I'm NO WHERE the builder that a few of these guys are. I'm currently working on my #4, and it is only my second scratch build.
as a new builder let me say that there is PLENTY to wrap your head around if you do a kit, even if you're an accomplished wood worker. Building a guitar is hard, but building a good guitar is nearly impossible haha.
I could be wrong, but I would reconsider doing a kit. The cost will be about the same after its all over with, and you won't have to worry about cutting sides with the right outline / bending and all that.
Someone (a very qualified builder) recently told me that there are a MULTITUDE of small things that have to be done with precision to make the whole work out, and he is VERY right.
Not saying you aren't capable, but I am saying there is more to it than you think, if you haven't made a guitar before.
Just my 2 cents. Hope I didn't offend you in any way.
