Depending up the top thinness/design and the bridge/tailpiece type, a true hollow may need some reinforcing blocks to keep the top from collapsing. If yours will be a string-thru-body Tele, there should be a block beneath the bridge area. Even if it's not string-thru, a block between the front and back will help keep the top from bellying or cracking.

Examples of guitars sans f-holes are B.B. King's Lucille and the Reverend line.
