I forgot to mention that I asked Warmoth about custom ordering a solid top and was told it was reserved for the showcase only. That was the summer of 2016 though...
And here was that Padouk top. I should've grabbed it while I had the chance.
The closest ES guitar I can think of would be the Gibson CS 336 or 356. Mahogany, Maple, and Rosewood goodness... But I would imagine finding a YT video where someone routed out the neck pup would be a bit of a challenge.
Now after reading this thread, I kinda wanna try one out in my Thinline.
I just recently acquired some new gear that has kinda put a halt to this build. Any ways, its a Mahogany Strat body in Cherry Red nitro (finished by Tonar8353). I only ever got around to installing the top jack (as pictured) and is included in the sale.

Wenge would work for this guitar quite well I think. I definitely prefer something darker from a color perspective. Which is quite fortunate, since I already have an African Ebony neck waiting...
