We'll your talking to someone who just spent close to five hundred dollars on tools and some wood, so it's not a cheap hobby by no means and if anyone tells you any different is only building 1 a year.. lol So that being said, it's not that hard if you read read read and test test test on scrap wood. But mostly you'll have to learn patience, which on my first guitar made me mess up a great paint job. So please read up alot before you start. If you are serious about building guitars there are some tools you'll want to use to make the job easier. I recommend that you find someone who will let you use them until you get ready to buy them one at a time. First off, you'll need to find someone with a bandsaw who can cut the shape out for you. Also, a planer, jointer, drill press, router, and orbital sander will be needed. Borrow, Borrow, Borrow.. lol.. But I'd recommend you reading all the tutorials on the main Project Guitar page before you do anything.. Good Luck
