My two cents:
I've heard pure rosewood is pretty heavy with a super bright tone. Fender did make a few all-rosewood models but they soon switched to laminated/sandwich building after customers complained about hernias, need for trusses, etc., plus the scarcity and cost of the wood.
Agree about the Warmoth possibilities. They have a Thrift Shop page where they list bodies and necks that for whatever reason did not sell. They have many neck contour, fret wire and headstock options. Sometimes you can get a Thrift Shop exotic wood neck or body for less scratch. While they are not cheap, they sometimes offer solid rosewood necks and bodies in Tele and Strat configurations that are heavily discounted. I bought a Thrift Shop solid goncolo alves Tele neck that needed no finish as it is naturally smooth and waxy. I did give it a few coats of tung oil so as to not void the warranty. A high quality product, and sounds great too. They have all sort of oddball woods: wenge, bubinga, Australian lacewood, bloodwood, cottonwood and walnut in addition to the usual ash, alder and mahogany. And no, I do not work for them!
