Go for it! I need to make a guitar some day too.

It's pretty easy when you get the precut body and neck. The hardest part is just lining the neck and body up with the bridge. Pickup wiring is easy. Building from scratch would be alot more difficult especially fretting the neck.

I've seen plenty of cheap kits. Could be interesting to customise one a bit to make something interesting. I'm not to hot on woodwork, so making one from scratch seems too hard, but I know people who have done it.

Yup, can confirm that it's fun! I'm carving up a strat kit as we speak.

Call it the chopocaster :-)
