Carved top semi-hollow tele

Hi,

first post on this forum! :)

I'm gas'ing for a carved top semi hollow tele, similar to this Warmoth body:

I'm looking for feedback from people who have had similar custom guitars built. Which builder did you use, what was your experience, how long did it take, what woods/pickups did you opt for, how does it sound... ? All info will be much appreciated.

Here is the strat I built. The Warmoth parts were great and they fit perfectly. I bought all the parts except the electronics from warmoth and they were very easy to deal with. The neck did need some fret work due to the ends being a little sharp, but it all fit together like a glove.

Wilkinson tremolo, lace sensor p/u, koa body, rosewood and ziricote neck. plays great sounds great and all the parts fit together perfectly. Warmoth sales people were a pleasure to deal with.

Sweet looking body, Super Locrian. Welcome to the forum! And nice mode, too. I'm sure 7#5b9 chords will sound cool on it
