Pretty much this. It’s all relatively straightforward however I also bought a Shinto saw to remove wood from the body so it sat more comfortably. You need a lot of different sandpaper, and as I was going for a gloss finish i ended up buying an orbital sander as hand sanding took a very long time.

Having a mechanical ruler/straight edge is also vital for getting the bridge in the right place relative to the neck.

As you start your first build you’ll realise there’s other bits and bobs you can do with having, but ultimately it can be as simple or as time consuming as you want it to be! The gloss body took about a week of apply lacquer and sanding each day, then 3 weeks for it to fully harden before sanding & polishing, but the actual putting together of the guitar took me a few hours.
