Guys,
I am planning on building a Warmoth Telecaster on the (not so) near future. I love my wife's Ibanez 'lawsuit' Tele (mahogany body + one piece figured maple neck) but I want to got to a different route. For sure, I'll be keeping the maple neck (I am thinking Birdseye maple neck) but how about the body: Ash or Alder? What are the differences? I'll be using some kind of low output humbucker on the bridge (maybe a Frailin Unbucker or a Rio Grande Tallboy) with this guitar, and maybe P92 or something on the neck, so that might be considered (it will be a Deluxe Tele).
Any other tips/considerations for building a Warmoth guitar and a Telecaster?
