Welcome along Ben - the Tele's are a great place to start.

Recommendations:
1. Mock build first off - check that everything's there and that there are no issues with anything (uncommon, but easier to deal with up front than later);
2. Start a build diary - take photos;
3. Any problems - stop, update the build diary, grab a bevvy of choice, sit back and think about it - help is never far away;
4. Take your time;
5. Get used to sanding .
