Crappy phone pics ftl. Leeds College of Art & Design said they'll plane the body blank to thickness for me. Pa said when he gets paid he was going to drop a little cash my way, I've asked him to get me the essential hand-tools instead - spokeshaves, rasps, jack/shooting planes, clamps, rip/gentlemens/tenon saws

Specs:
fretboard - pao ferro
body - 1pc mahogany
neck - maple/paduak/wenge
body laminate - can't remember quarter-sawn, two back pieces from a classical guitar pack off've ebay

bridge - an old Kahler trem model. Doesn't float. I did want a floyd rose/floating trem, but having played with one I've decided, Hell, I don't need it. Whatever bends I want to do I can manage with my fingers, and I have no ambitions/desires divebombing wise
Pickups - bareknuckle warpigs

(not pictured)
tuners - 3x3 planet waves locking tuners in black (I've decided upon a Washburn/Dean headstock shape)
Nut blank
Gibson les-paul spec fret wire
18" truss rod, again, les paul style (neck dimensions are to be modeled on my lp, I find it ridiculously comfortable
Wiring - full setup from les paul inc pots, bought on ebay

EDIT: Forget that dean V headstock rubbish.

The headstock will be the shape from the first picture, regardless of tuner configuration
