The specs on the guitar are as follows:
Body: Poplar, Tele shape, drop top, beer-belly cutout, upper horn cutout, tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece.
Neck: Glued-in with contoured heel, curly maple with mahogany laminates, maple fretboard with mahogany binding, abalone dot inlays, Grover locking tuners, graphite nut, dual-action truss rod.
Electronics: Seymour Duncan Vintage P-90s, on-off switch, blend pot. No volume or tone. (Note that about 12 years after I built this guitar I modified it to a traditional one volume, one tone and a 3-way pickup selector configuration.)
Finish: Emerald green metalflake lacquer base coats on body, clear lacquer on body and neck. Looks a lot shinier in person than in pictures!

Here's a picture of the fretboard. Note the mahogany binding and abalone dot inlays:
These are pictures of the back. You can see the "cheese-belly" cutout and the heel sculpting:
