Seriously though from what I've seen so far it should be a quality job. Looking forward to seeing it as it progresses.

Everything will be in tension, the sides, the back, the soundboard, and the neck when strung. That's what gives the acoustic guitar its sound.

Is every component you need for the build in the kit, down to the actual finish?

If I had veneer tape I might have thought about it, but I quickly went into glue the rim together with the end blocks which I've been doing, including there dry runs for the last hour.
Later in the build there's a point where you glue strips across the insides of the sides to prevent splits when it's tensioned up as a whole body.
