Only two things to work out.
1) What finish to use on the body, neck peghead and heal. Nitro, Water based like Cristal Lac, or Polly? Has to be buffable to a high gloss shine. Neck shaft will have an oil and wax finish.
2) The electronics cover material. Koa, Maple or Bocote?

Some very good looking wood.

Hey folks I need some advice. I'm at the dying stage of my project. A pine tele with a swamp ash top
I'm on the fence on whether to dye the top red and grain fill black, then do the back and sides black paint, or just do the whole guitar black with red grain fill. I'm leaning towards the red top with black sides and back but I don't think I have seen a body like that. What do you think?

Here's a link to a Warmoth body that is red dye top with a black back. I think this looks good. http://www.warmoth.com/Showcase/Show...6#.VUy81pOQbgA

Just removed the MDF veneer from the front and back of this one:

Are you going to seal the denim on or will it be all raw? haha

Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!

I wouldn't even stain it, I'd just do some sort of satin clearcoat. I guess I just like the natural look of some woods. Or as Dominus says, Tru-Oil.

I'd do a weird thing to that. Make it a multi species guitar . Hole saw much/most of the body , and fill with about 15 different tone woods.

No you wouldn't.
