A few folks have mentioned building their own , and PM'd me over my time here.
I can tell you it will give you a deeper understanding of your instruments that can't be beat .
To answer the question HOW the heck does one do this ? The first step is to join the Guild of American Luthiers , it's non -profit and has a wealth of information on the craft including detailed blueprints for a vast array of instruments ( not just guitars) .
Even if you never aspire to build your own , I'd still recommended it as a great resource for our craft as guitar players.
If the bug bites hard there are some very well established Lutherie schools , it is NOT a lucrative craft monetarily ... but then neither is Music for most .
there is also a forum with many useful links : https://luthiersforum.com/
I'm always happy to share any knowledge gained over the last 40 years at it , as long as I'm here
