Thinking about building my own custom guitar. I'd like to bounce a few ideas of of you folks, and I surely would appreciate any 'warnings' or advice from folks who have done this before.

I'm thinking of getting one of those 150.00 kits from china as a 'luthier starter kit' before I get in deeper. Eventually, I would like to build something decent from scratch....well, maybe a Warmoth neck, but the rest just me and my little wood shop out back.

You guys think the chinese guitar would be a good learning exercise or would I be just wasting money?

Any huge pitfalls I need to look out for?

Thanks
