i did my first semi hollow tele with a hand saw, then plane. that's madness though
these days I use a router thicknesses jig to do the same thing in minutes

I would try to find a top which is say 5 to 8 mm
With a good sharp scrub plane that won't take long, then you'll need to flatten it. You'll need planes with proper flat soles and brutally sharp irons, and they'll need resharpening a few times.
As has been suggested, a router jig will do it better in a fraction of the time if you're not really good with hand planes.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

its a good tool, but I always wonder if the name was meant to be ironic

I'd prefer to get a smaller unit like that rather than a big 1/2 inch beast if I can get away with it, bearing in mind that it will only see very occasional use.
I think you could do it with that, but it'll take ages. I do router thicknessing with one of these in a 1400W Bosch router, cutting about 20mm wide passes.

I built my router thicknessing thing with two bits of aluminium box section, some PFTE slip tape and some scrap ply as the base. I then made a sliding gantry from some more box section so it wouldn't sag under the router's weight.
