Hey guys,
I'm not going shopping (yet) or anything, but I've been wondering for a long time now if my dream axe is even available without me having to contact some Custom Shop. I'd really like to know this, so when I'm getting the money in the future I'll be getting it. Here are the specs:
Shape: Explorer (Kelly, Z, ML, standard, sharp, you name it!), Les Paul/Double cut (Evo or Cadillac)
Construction: neck-thru-body, set neck (only with small-to-no heel or very good upper fret acces, I just hate it when I can't easilly reach those upper frets
!)
Body: Mahogany, Koa, Korina w/ Flamed, Quilted or Spalted top
Neck: Maple (all), Koa, Korina (very slim, not Ibanez Wizard slim ofcourse, but not Les Paul fat, as slim as possible)
Inlays: Anything but dots, think: blocks, trapezium etc. made of Abalone or Mother of Pearl
Pick ups: Don't have to be good, I'll most likely be replacing them with Duncans anyway!
Bridge: Stoptail w/ string thru body is prefered, but if not available I will take Stopbar with tailpiece
Tuners: Not very important, but Sperzel locking tuners are prefered
Hardware color: I'll take anything (even gold if I really have to)
Binding: Yes if possible (creme, abalone, natural, pearloid, Ivoroid)
Frets: 22/24 Jumbo
I especially have a hard time finding those thinner-than-usual Les Pauls necks with no heel. Most of them have Stopbars with tailpieces but I really like the string-thru-body design. Now for the most important part: MUST BE UNDER $1000 USD (ok so I wouldn't mind paying slightly more, but don't make it too much please)! I don't mind buying them off Ebay, I'd actually prefer it since it'll most likely be cheaper. The closest I saw were the Kramer Custom, Dean Z and the Jackson KE1 (which is too expensive!)
They have to excist, but I never saw them in those models, only strats.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it
