Some of your build techniques are very similar to mine. We both use minimal tools to work the boards down to what we need. jointers, planers and sanders would be great, but I don't have them, so hand sawing, jigsawing and chiseling are used instead.
I have found that a circular saw makes neck shaping much simpler, since its easier to cut a long straight line than a jigsaw. Same with body cutouts, you can use the circ saw to chop away most of the excess body, then the jigsaw doesn't tend to wander off.
I really like the backwards logos on the headstock. 1 cool point for that one.
