Here's a fairly complete list of parts and spex to think about during the process of designing your guitar. You can copy the list, print out, check off, make notes. As with any assembling/building project, it's always best to care for all the details before you touch the tools. Approach this with the right attitude and this can be a fun part of the assembling process.
