Before you start spending money on materials it's a good idea to do some research and allow some time to think about how you'll go about things. Personally, I did most of my research on the internet. There is are a large number of videos' blogs and websites that can be consulted when looking to build a guitar which outline in detail how to go about different processes in the build. The rest of my research was done last year when I visited a local luthier who makes acoustic guitars. The best type of research is always going to see someone whose done it before.
Here are a few things that I found useful:
Steve Summerford's Blog
OBrien Guitar's channel
A first-time builder's video
Atkin Guitars (watching these videos is very useful in identifying the tones produced by different varieties of woods and to see the standards the professionals achieve)
