Hey,
I'm 14 and I've played guitar for a year. Recently my guitars have needed a few adjustments and I quickly figured out how to repair my guitars, starting out with simple yet essential things like changing strings to adjusting truss rods and repairing pickups.
Anyway, I've become interested in building a small acoustic guitar for fun and a nice long term project to keep me occupied for a few months.
What I need right now is to know the following:
What tools will I need?
What kind of "hardware" will I need (Screws, Nuts, Bolts, Wood, etc.)?
What guitar related hardware will I need (Truss Rod, etc.)?
Basically, can you tell me everything I'm going to need and an estimation on the price I'm talking for a semi-decent acoustic guitar (semi-decent meaning it stays in tune, is playable and has a decent sound)?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have NO idea where to start. Thanks in advance to everyone, this community seems very helpful and kind.

Thanks everyone.
I like the kit idea but I really don't have a lot of money and one of the reasons of building my own was to reduce the cost.
I have a lot of the tools I need and can borrow any other tool I may need from my neighbor or my sister's friend so I'm covered on tools I think, I just need to know like what else I'll need.
Once again, thanks.
