welcome to the forum Kim,
you won't get a more helpful group to guide you through your build.
Good choice I've recently finished a LP1SS kit.
The most important tip I can give you is the veneer cap is very thin and don't sand it much. Start on 240 grit and get it smooth enough to stain.
Have you thought of what finish you will use ? We love photos here so please start a build diary and upload some photos of your kit.
