Newbie from the UK

Hi All,
I'm Simon, from Warwick in the UK.
I've never really "built" a guitar before, although I have done quite a few partcasters (2 Strats, a Tele and 2 Jazz Bass Vs) and am currently restoring several SGs, an old Gibson "The Paul" and a Gibson Invader. My collection stretches to around 30 guitars, mostly Gibson or Fender electric 6s and basses.
I have 2 acoustics only - a Martin and a Fender classical. I'm embarrassed to admit that I know so little about acoustics that I had to send the Fender to a professional luthier for set up (it was a Friday afternoon guitar, I think).
Anyway, I'm here to learn from you all.
My ambition is to build a Martin kit, so any advice on that will be gratefully received.
best wishes,
Simon
