Hi all,
My name is Steve, I live in Lake Macquarie NSW.
I have just received my tele kit and I am itching to start. I am sure that at some point during the process I will seek guidance and support from some of you guys I look forward to being an active member of this community.

Welcome Steve! I think you will find a wealth of Tele builds to research on the forum, I suspect its probably one of the widest built kits on here (Pure supposition on my part, but Adam probably has stats that back this up...somewhere).
All you need to do is ask the question, as the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. There's a lot of sharing of information and tips throughout the threads as well.
Welcome and above all enjoy your build!

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Hi Steve welcome to the forum. Start a build diary when the kit arrives and do a mock build to make sure it all fits together.
Ask any questions you have in the build diary there is plenty of experienced builders on the forum to help you out.
Best of luck with the build a tele is a good kit to start your new addiction haha

Welcome Steve. The Tele is a great place to start as it is one of the easiest kits to build. Only tricky bits are shaping the headstock and also making sure the Bridge Pickup Rout is in the right place. Help is never too far away, only have to ask questions and sooner or later someone will drop in and help you out.
