Hello there,
First post here, incidentally first build too
Been a Gibson player since the early '90s so I was kind of biased when I chose the wood type and neck.
Solid Mahogany, thin standard (pretty much like my Lester slim '60s) neck but with 25.5 scale
Gibson 490R at the neck, SD Black Winter Trembucker at the bridge.
String through for that sustain
Everything for my jazzy/fusion needs up to my progressive rock and extreme metal fix
Not as twangy as a traditional tele or fat as my Lester, close to my former SG but with even more bite.
Plenty of sustain, good note separation in chords; the sums of the parts made a great instrument.
Home made laminated rosewood control and truss rod covers, I shielded every cavities and its very quiet even with high gain.
Ebony pickup ring, ebony knobs, strap and tuners buttons
Playability is awesome, no fret dressing needed, no dead spot, very low action, neck fit the pocket as a glove and dead center to bridge.
Warmoth execution on both the body and the neck is simply faultless; I don't regret.
If not really light at 8.01 pounds, it is very balanced and still 2 pounds less than my 1992 Lester.
Pretty happy with the result
