Thanks both for your advice. For me, if I end up with something which looks good and is playable, I'll be delighted. While I don't want to approach this as a 'trial' project, I've already ordered either kit to apply some early lessons learned. And as Simon pointed out, I had in mind a finish before I even saw the body. So in time, it will be good to be confident enough to work with the wood, rather than use the wood as a canvas for the finish I want to end up with.
