I know man! I was going to build an "Alexi" guitar from Warmoth, but now I am just buying this instead! Thank god I heard about it before I ordered the body and neck. And yeah, it's my dream guitar, I have always liked Alexi's guitar, even before I knew who he was haha.
The difference between MOP and MOTO is like the difference between real gold and nickel painted gold. MOP is shiny sparkly and pretty much show-offy, while MOTO is plain and looks almost plastic like. It does not affect sound or playability, so it doesn't really matter. Here are some full specs:
