Hey guys,

  First time building a guitar, and I have a question for this experienced forum.

  I'm planning a chambered mahogany telecaster body with a rosewood neck/ebony fingerboard.
I want to have two humbuckers, but I don't know what kind specifically (open to suggestions!).
 
  Tonally speaking, that ought to be a pretty warm combo right? I want versatility, as I play a lot of jazz,
but also like vintage rock 'n' roll sounds.

  I'm concerned the neck might dip, as I've heard ebony is very heavy and I have chambered the body.
Do you guys think this might be an issue? I like the fact that I won't have to finish the neck as it is right now.

Thanks for any tips!
 
light tuners will help, and dare i say it an 3x3 style headstock. i know i know it's a tele but 3x3 is shorter and moves the tuners closer to the body a bit.

some weights in the control can help too.
