1959 build

Well after carefull consideration I have decided to build my own 1959 Les Paul Standard, granted I know it won`t be the same as a 52 year old origonal but its the closest to the real deal as I will be able to afford. Thinking about putting Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pups in it since they were copied from 1 awesome 59 standard. Any pointers and or tips from the more experienced here would be greatly appreciated.

Very ambitious undertaking I think. I've seen some good work done but it's always been done by real craftsmen not a hobbyist.
