I would like to build a nicer guitar eventually but I only have basic woodworking, electronics and painting experience. I have mostly played acoustic but would like to learn some electric. Does it make sense to get an expensive kit like a Saga TC10 Tele for starters? I could try a nice but fairly basic finish like a candy maroon. Also the electronics good be improved with shielding and soldering.
Later this guitar might serve as a testbed for some different pickups which is something else I am uncertain.
Does this make sense or will the quality of the parts yield disappointing results? It will be a lot of work so naturally I want a decent guitar at the end.
