This is the body I got from ML-Factory:
I was really glad about the good quality of the body, although I was a bit surprised to see the "brown tips" on the upper edge on the front side. First I thought it was a flaw in the material but it's not, and I immediately liked these tips as something that would make my guitar special.
The milling work seemed to be well done as well, and - as written in the previous post - it turns out my body is a one-piece body.
I personally like this, not sure though if that will impact the way how the body will stay flat in the long time....
One of the reasons I chose this body over one with bindings (as most of the kits include bodies that do already have bindings in place) is the fact that I wanted to "shape" the body a bit more. I know this is not pure Tele style, but I actually prefer having a bit of an angle for my right arm, as well as some space for my belly.
Seeing the brown tips, I wasn't sure though if I should still do this shaping, as it would potentially remove one of the tips - something I would need to look into.
Taking a bit of a closer look at the details of how the body was done:
The body seems to be carefully shaped, I couldn't find any major dents beyond some small imperfections in the wood that I don't mind at all.
One little detail that I need to improve is the edge leading into the neck pocket (sorry for the blurred picture):
