    As someone who is just getting into the first build, some considerations should go towards how easy it is to build...

    for example, a guitar kit with many contours will require a lot more attention to the sanding, whereas something like a tele will have more straight edges. Even so, the edges took me AGES on my tele kit...

    Also set neck vs. bolt on....i haven't build a set neck one but it feels like the neck is make a break - if you don't do it right there is no reprieve.

    A couple of pitbull custom shapes like the dedman model seem pretty neat. Have a look at them too?

    Well, if you use the right glue you can steam it apart. But I wouldn't like to have to do it.
