You're going to have to spend a lot of time on fit and finish, but if you are patient and follow the rules (measure twice cut once, etc.), it ought to come out nicely.

I love the smell of solder in the morning.

I think I have one of their necks on my "start" it's ok, it is stable and feels good, seems to fit the sound of the plywood body it has, grain is a little on the squirrely side though.

I don't think you can really go wrong as long as all the parts fit, just take your time. You will have to put some kind hard finish because basswood is really soft.
