Hoss,
nice design ...

personally, I'd consider strat style controls on a back loading body - to me, they feel more natural, but others don't like 'em, so YMMV

although I'm doing my own finish, the guys that USA uses have some great looking jobs in their gallery

You can get a Strat neck pocket in a Tele body for no additional charge at Warmoth but doing a carved top on a Tele is a significant up charge.

hmmm...i'm starting to think tones with this thing already...(imagin that)

anyways, would a mahogany body with a maple cap be to bright with the maple/maple neck, or should i go with solid mahogany, koa, or korina...i'm not big on bright sounding guitars...my moore has a mahogany body maple cap, but it has a mahogany/rosewood neck...?

or could i just alleviate the brightness with the right pups and amp settings

I think mahogany with a maple cap would be fine, and if you want the finish you showed, that would be the best choice cosmetically

solid mahogany, or with another cap is an option, but you're talking a different finish

but solid mahogany or with a cap would sound fine with P90's ... lots of examples out there
