So, if one was to look to start building the odd guitar what tools would you suggest were needed, like absolutely needed, and what would be beneficial to also have?
I'm thinking about building myself a custom body to then add a, probably 2nd hand, neck to so starting to look at tooling and the like.
I guess there are things like routers, chisels and sanding items but there must be more and some specific models or types of tools would be a great help.
So, fire away: (please)
Guessing this will also help others out there who are thinking along similar lines to me.

I am no luthier! But I have dabbled with wood and metal all my life.
FIRST tool, a really sturdy bench. Next I would get the biggest drill press I could afford.
