Yeah, that's exactly my thoughts! I've always liked the idea of a tele.

HSC is more important to me, but I'm hoping to get a start on the build/s before the end of school. If I manage my time well it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I definitely will be asking a lot of questions! It'll be a massive learning curve for me, which is why I am thinking of a 'practice' build.
