I own a rather interesting guitar. It's made by a company who've now closed down, called Palm Bay Guitars. The body is mahogany, and the neck is maple. Pretty standard. But the headstock is mahogany (scarf joint) and the boy and headstck are bot toped with yew. Comared to most mahogany bodies with maple neck and top, it adds quite a lot of sustain, and creates a much richer tone. It soudns similar to a les paul custom, even though it is a super-strat style body with a bolt on neck. So for me it's yew all the way. As for oak, I've only played/seen one guitar made of it, and it was damn heavy. Tone wise it didn't differ much from Mahogany, but did have added sustain. So if I were you, I'd definitely consider using some yew.

Yeah, I agree, a tele would be the easiest design. pRetty basic shape, no contouring, simple routing, all round easiest.
