Yeah, I would agree with you on the designing section, LewsTherin. I think most first time builders should stick to a design tried-and-true; then if they still want to build after that, they can experiment with a design of their own, or something more wild.

I also highly encourage to consider how the guitar will balance, the shorter the top horn, the more neck heavy it will be. That's not good, lawl. Same with the bottom, will the guitar be playable in a sitting position? Those are some of main design questions, aside from neck pocket and bridge type stuff.
