First build advices

[strident.silence]

Hi,

I'm getting my first guitar build and need some advices regarding the specs.

It will be a flying V (gibson style). It will mainly used for metal, but I want it to be as versatile as possible. Probably a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates
in the neck. Not sure about the bridge pickup. Ebony fingerboard. Probably a 25.5 scale. Neck-through and string-through.

I'm not sure about the tonewoods.

Mahogany body and neck with walnut top or

Alder body, maple neck, walnut top

I also want the body to be balanced. Thanks!
