I was in exactly your position earlier this year Dazza, Wazza is correct the tele is a easy kit to build and everyone loves a Tele, so many options to choose from in style and pick up types. Building the a tele gave me the confidence to ........go nuts but I really love playing my LP Jnr. I can defiantly say spending the few bucks on having DingoBass set your neck up with a bone nut and fret levelling is money well spent, especially on a first build and you are still on the learning curve. (the neck set up is listed in the options on the store Extras/Services). But most importantly...have fun!
