My daughter wants a new guitar and I am thinking about building her one, I am a knife maker and have some experience building things but I want an honest opinion. Should I get a kit or build one from scratch? I have seen the Sagas and read many reviews of them most not all that great. Are there any other options for a decent kit? My other options are to just buy all the parts from one of the many suppliers, or start from scratch. Which would do you think would make the most sense? Thanks, John
