Hi Chico, welcome to the forum. Be best if you introduced yourself in the welcome section of the forum (near the top) - instead of posting your query in someone else's build diary.
I think the ES-5V kits will sound great, especially if you upgrade the bridge, pickup, tuners and install a bone nut. If you are lucky Doug is the closest to finishing his ES-5V build so he may be able to record you a sound demo.
Dedman is building one but think he said elsewhere he doesn't have any recording equipment.
There are plenty of 2 pickup hollow body kits at Pitbull available would have more sounds available with 2 pickups versus one pickup of the ES-5V.
Wudtone have a good range of stain colour's and do an amber kit and some darker browns dark tease and columbian gold (not sure if these colours are still available but they were 2-3 years ago) or you could do a nice tobacco burst maybe.
Best of luck Chico, I think any Pitbull kit you can make play and sound well with some upgrades and a good setup
