I agree Andy. I like that basswood is kinda 'tone neutral' (as I read somewhere) so I found that it gives more latitude in tone. It warms up my Tele but still allows that classic Tele twang. The only drawback is it's softness, so drilling holes and avoiding dings can be an issue.
My ST-1 agrees with you ILR as even my pants button scratched it up.

I have asked and they don't have plans for this 339 style model. They would have to make all new CNC plans, which they would not do without an order for 50+ kits.
Cheers,
