Building a guitar - can someone confirm this is all compatible?

My son (15) would like to build his first guitar and I want to support that, but want to make sure that what he found will fit together without alterations. I was hoping someone with experience could confirm if this looks good / things I need to ask the selllers so I don't end up buying these parts with no way to build this. Appreciate everyone taking the time to read and answer this!

Below are the specs I took from each product's website

Neck

  • 25.5" scale
  • 43mm nut
  • 55.5–56.5mm heel width
  • 9.5" radius
  • 10mm tuner holes
  • Stainless frets

Body

  • Ash “Frankenstrat” body
  • Strat-style
  • Floyd Rose top-mount route
  • 25.5" scale compatible
  • SSH routing

Tremolo

  • Floyd Rose 1000 Series style
  • 12" bridge radius

Pickup

  • EVH Frankenstein Humbucker

I ran this through ChatGPT which raised a number of concerns:

  1. Body / Neck compatibility may be off

  2. Neck vs Floyd radius is off (9.5" vs 12")

  3. Verify that neck supports locking Floyd cut
