Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that.

Typically, a first guitar is for copying someone else's established method of construction, to learn the basics of the craft. Without those basics, it will be a challenge.

As an aside, unless the drawings are made from a 3D model of the object, liberties are often taken in the 2D representation of it, particularly with regards to curves at oblique angles. I can't tell from the photo if it is from a 3D model or not or how "real" is the depiction of complex curved surfaces. It is likely that the plan was created for those with "prior knowledge" of the craft who could fill in and extrapolate from what is shown.
