No idea at all, I've never built from scratch before so I'll need to do some homework.
It would be rude not to make it neckthrough though so I'll have my work cut out for me! Maybe maple neckthrough with mahogany wings and some (3no.) mini-humbuckers?Having another one here to use as a template should make it fairly manageable though for the body end of things so I suppose the tricky bit will be the neck!
A Mastery bridge would be supreme craic also...

The first one I built at home was a neck through.
It is slightly harder than a bolt on, but I don't think it's a silly idea - especially with a bridge like that that doesn't (I think) need a neck angle.
The good thing is that you can make the interesting bits of the guitar (heel, stringline, scale length, bridge mounting etc) from one long bit of wood, so you don't necessarily have to spring for everything at once and until you're relatively sure it'll work.

That's a handsome headstock. I reckon you're right to change it, the Dean one is pretty big.
You got plans for when you're going to start? It'd be an interesting one to follow, I've not seen (m)any builds.
