Hey Julio, welcome to the community — awesome to have you here! Building your first acoustic guitar is such a cool project, and you're gonna love the journey. For starters, go with quality tonewoods like spruce for the top and mahogany or rosewood for the back and sides — they’re beginner-friendly and sound great. Take your time with bracing and neck alignment, those are key for tone and playability. A sharp chisel set, a good sanding block, and lots of patience will be your best friends.
