Hi Matt,
I know Lakewood guitars and have had two. They are excellently built and finished, but tend (to my mind) to be rather heavily built (not necessarily a bad thing!)
I have had a number of custom builds and discovered that the main pitfall is my inability to previsualise EXACTLY what you want.
I'd suggest that if you aren't sure about body shape and EVERY aspect of geometry - fretboard width profiles etc.,and tone woods, better look for a a ready made one , maybe a Lakewood standard model.
