Building a guitar: Offset, P90's. Advice??

johnonguitar

So after blowing my wad on a LP last week it means that well... I'll probably never spend big bucks on a guitar again. That means my Fano JM6 boner hasn't been jerked yet and my collection of electrics is also missing anything with P90's. I'm also not entirely happy about the Fano factory move with regards to resale prices etc. it's already a lot of mulla for the content.

I do however want to recreate the vibe.

Things I want:

Offset alder body
Fralin P90's
Tunomatic bridge
25.5" scale

I'm not set on a radius or width or colour or anything else.

Is there any advice you guys could share with your own experiences as to what mistakes you made when starting out or what your advice would be on this build.
Thanks

You can't go too wrong with one of the kits that some of us chose for last years modding challenge here http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Seattle-Jazz-Electric-Guitar-DIY-Kit/PZU. Basswood rather than alder but eminently upgradeable

Classic Player Jazzmaster. Change the pickups. Done.

Did you see that really nice Telemaster build that someone on here did recently. It was on to it's MkIV reiteration but it did look lovely and was pretty much what you wanted from memory

This guy http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/1jonone made me a beautiful alder Toronado body. He does Telemaster bodies too and will route for your choice of pickups and custom cut a pickguard. Great place to start for a something a bit different offset wise
