So here's the experiment. I think this would be called a "semi-solid" electric.
I tried to keep all the routing to a minimun since there isn't much solid wood. And I couldn't tell what was inside of the slab.
I used a single coil sized humbucker (13.84k), with a concentric 500k pot for volume and tone and mini switch to split the coils.
It has a top loading bridge and I used an endpin jack. There wasn't a solid area to put a jack in the typical location.
The dark streaks are from years of dirt build up in the exposed peckies. After I had it planed down, and the rough body cut, I used a high pressure air hose to clean all the dirt and chaff out of the holes. Some of them go all the way through the body. I couldn't think of anyway to get rid of the staining from the dirt so I left the dark streaks and used black hardware to compliment it. I also used a satin poly finish instead of gloss finish.
My four year old grandson called it the tiger guitar.
