I think thats a good strategy for first time hobbyists..settle for a ready neck muna. and focus on noodling around the body , the art of wood selection ,mastering measuring, geting used to powertools, shaping carving,glueing,painting ..gawa ng templates etc.para di maoverwhelm at medyo mabusisi yung neck...baka maburnout bigla sa laki ng task..and at least maasses yung amount of time, resources na kailangang gugulin..kung worthwhile endeavor nga ito
