Here are several reviews of guitar making books that should help anyone get started:

Make Your Own Guitar - Written by Melvyn Hiscock, this is the one to have if you're only going to purchase a single book on electric guitar building.


Build Your Own Electric Guitar: Custom Guitar Assembly Made Easy
- this book is geared toward the kit builder and Warmoth guitar assembler.

Designing Tube Preamps for Guitar and Bass - comprehensive guide to the design of tube-based preamplifiers

Guitar Making: Tradition and Technology - Without a doubt the best book on acoustic guitar making on the market.

Woodworking with the Router - If you're building from scratch, you'll need to understand how to use a router effectively and safely. This book tells you all you need.

Some Links to Safety Info:

I recommend everyone who is considering a DIY amp project or trying their hand at mods or repairs read the Tube Amp Safety Info at Drifter Amps

Also, there is a good article on shock hazards we all face when playing through electrified instruments and why we should NEVER EVER defeat the ground lug on a piece of equipment at Guitar Nuts.

Also for people who need help soldering for the first time:
