My inspiration was a Schecter PT Apocalypse which I can't afford if I want to stay married.
I'm going to get as close as possible with a few changes. Tonerider Octane in the bridge and a 59 copy in the neck.
The test board is pretty close to what I'm shooting for.
Neck attached.
First route completed.
This is going to turn out SICK!

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Welcome Broke123. TL kits are a great place to start this adventure.
You're obviously fearless enough to get stuck into it with a router, which is a good thing. Just be aware that if you want to use full size pots (24mm), the control cavity needs some routing as well (widening). That fact is discussed here in numerous threads.
Looking forward to more photos!
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
Re the pots, if its a basswood body its so soft all I did was get a screwdriver with a rounded handle slightly wider than the pot, and basically force the handle into the control cavity where the pots sit and it provided two slightly widened rounded areas without the need to route.
Enjoy the journey.
