For once, I'll see if I can make a build in progress of my current project.
This one will be a VIP, I spec'd it end of January and received it earlier this week so construction time was pretty quick.
Attached is a picture of it along with Warmoth's pic of the top (wet).
The body is hollow, and weighs 4lbs 5oz.
The body has been sent for finishing, it'll be a "laguna dragon burst" which is seen on some PRS guitars.
I'll have a mahogany rear cover made for it. One of the rear cover holes was misaligned, I filled it up with mahogany and re-drilled.
I haven't spec'd the neck yet but it'll either be a Vortex or Warmoth shape with 24-3/4" conversion scale. I'm leaning towards ebony fingerboard+veneer, with the back being wenge, rosewood, or ziricote (from densest to lightest, and cheapest to most expensive...).
Update: the finish will now be a "glow" effect in dark red/orange/yellow color scheme. I like it better than the laguna one, but mostly it appears to be way easier to pull off that color scheme.
