Alright, well, I figure i should open this up, and Ill update when i can..
My version of a "les paul"
Body will be korina, topped with walnut. archtoped....
2.5- almost 3 inches thick in the middle. Carved so that the treble side has less walnut/more korina than the bass side in an attempt to well-blend the tone....try to deepen the trebles brightness, and brighten the bass's bassiness
Neck-4 piece....Centerpiece walnut, with one korina slice on each side. EBony 24 fret
fretboard 25.5" scale
Neck will be attached as a deep tenon....neck through until the bridge, after the bridge the neckpiece will stop
Headstock, 13 degree angled walnut
all black hardware
wilkinson trem
some planet waves auto trims.....4x2
pots- 1 concentric volume/tone
on board gain-linear primary booster (thanks to ansiL)
Either a 3 way, or 5 way switch....most-likely a fender-like 5 way
pickups-PAF7 neck, tallboy 7 mid, Evo 7 bridge
2 dpdt mini-switch to make both humbuckers tappable

edit: Due to the monetary restrictions of being in high school, my plans have been altered...
7 string became a 6 string
floyd became wilkinson (maybe soon moved to hardtail with tom)
nut became rollernut
