Recommendations for first electric guitar build?

i wanna know what wood types can be used to make the guitar, i know theres basswood, poplar and ebony and other ones but what is the actual difference between them all other than price and coloration?

and whenever it comes to the hardware, does the material matter alot? are there other options other than steel?

any specific techniques used for making the fretboard , head and neck? what to avoid and do

and whenever it comes to colouring them, what should be used? and how can they be satin or glossy?

the reason im asking this here instead of searching it up is i want answers from people directly, and big thank you for whoever does comment :D
