as far as pickup type, I say what ever you are willing to pay for. one of the flat pickups some members make would be great since the wood is not that thick

I was thinking about doing a solid body myself, I thought about buying a chopping board but I want one solid piece, most of them seem a collection of blocks glued together - going to my wood supplier soon will see what he's got, but a Flatpup is about the only thing you could use there John :-)

I use the 4 claw t-nuts when making bolt on necks. Used in furniture making but come in a variety of sizes, 1/4" x 20 is what I use. These can be used on just the neck with a plate washer on the body like a standard bolt on neck or matching t-nuts can be used can be used on both.

I just have to add..... that is possibly the most beautiful piece of wood I've seen!  The lighter middle section/stripe really sets it off!
