John Mayer BLK1 Build Advice

Hey all, I’m considering taking on trying to build a BLK1 replica. After a bit of research, I’ve come to the conclusion that you can get a close sound and almost identical look for around $1500 with a warmoth body and neck. This is leaving out things like Schaller Elite tuners and the elusive big dipper pickups as they are extremely hard to come by. I’d like to have the experience of building my own guitar, and this is imo one of the best looking guitars ever. Any advice from someone who has done this or something similar? Anything is appreciated!
