000-14F kit for beginner
Im planning to build first guitar from Japan.
I want to build 000-14F style with nut width 1 11/16" and 24.9" scale, 2 3/32’bridge string spacing. And if possible, I want to arrange purfring and binding by myself. Now Im searching searching searching and confusing... I found 000-14F kit from LMI,martin,KMG,and Blues Creek Guitars. I think LMI kit wizard is nice but LMI kit looks difficult for me. I worry about shaving neck,headplate and drill peghole etc... I would like you to tell me which kit is good for beginner. Im planning to buy basic hand-tool and powertool 'foredom' and 'bosch colt' and binding machine at the same time. Thank you, Masato

Masato,
Lots of information on kit building here: http://acousticguitarconstructionfor...d23cd743082a6f And at Blues Creek: http://www.kitguitarsforum.com/ Also see step by step here:http://jsevy.com/luthierie/guitarmak...g_flattop.html All 3 vendors are very ruputable - have you watched Blues Creeks videos? John Hall is quite a character and his videos are great. I have watched them all...

You may not know this, but there's a forum especially for builders of kit guitars. It's run by John Hall of Blues Creek Guitars, but it's open for builders from any source: Stewart-Macdonald, Martin, LMI, and others. I'm sure people there can answer your questions better than we can.
The link is: http://www.kitguitarsforum.com/board/index.php
