        Well, to get you started into the roughing, you're easily going to need:

        Obviously the tools you've mentioned, saws, etc.

        -an accurate square
        -accurate scale (metal ruler with graduations in at least 64ths of an inch) at least 24". A nice tape measure will work but is quite a pain in the ass to work with.
        -Straight edges in multiple lengths, 6" to at least 24")
        -Sanding boards/blocks for leveling (short 4" are nice and you should have at least a 12" as well, you can make these and check for straightness using your straight edge)
        -a good set of brad point drill bits or Forstner bits.
        -straight blade spoke shave for carving.
        -variety of files, mill bastard, rasps for roughing out.
        -templates for pickups, cavities, etc.....
        - you'll also need to know immediately what hardware you're going to use because there is so much out there, the sizes of hardware varies all over the place. Give this a lot of though because once you strat cutting holes and cavities, you don't want to have to go back and fix them..

        here is a Pm budman sent me, there a few other things but you can get the idea.
