    One piece Hollow carbon fibre molded construction
    Custom Ultra powerful onboard Microprocessor
    DAW running a custom ported Axe-fx III VST and any desired synth VST
    Midi in/out programmable.


    Onboard Humidor stocked with Cohibas




    Double neck


    Neck One:
    Headless
    Ultra ergonomic
    Bidirectional progressive scalloped fretboard
    Slight fanning: 25" to 24" or similar
    Extra jumbo Titanium/Gold alloy rod frets
    Compound radius 16" to infinity or just totally flat
    Narrow and fat neck
    No inlays
    Very narrow nut width <40mm
    Very narrow bridge string spacing
    Microcontroller controlled Transtrem style bridge: Fully midi controllable transposition and operation. lndividual strings retunable for open tunings etc. The trem can be remote operated with a midi footpedal. Trem is fully locked unless you touch the bar which unlocks it.
    Hexaphonic output
    Custom Fishman Fluence Pickups made to my specs. Voices are reprogrammed in real time (I believe the fluences preamp uses a programmable analog multiband eq chip)
    Pickups mechanically automatic adjustable in all directions (height, angle and location) in real time.


    Neck Two:

    The Synthaxe concept fully realised and updated with modern tech.
    Motion sensors, touchpads etc




    Colour: The whole instrument including every piece of hardware is one solid colour; The same telemagenta as an Dunlop 500 Delrin .96mmm. Backups made in Gold, Silver, White, Yellow, purple and hot pink.
    This is all more my speed.

    My #1 is nearly perfect: Parker Fly Mojo. The only things I would change if I were to "redesign" it are: Les Paul scale, and smaller frets. The jumbo frets make it too easy to overfret and pull the strings sharp.

    I hear you, my first guitar was a strat and if I could only keep one it would be that very same guitar.

    Back before China was the enemy
    i contacted a builder on Aliexpress
    Who was shut down for counterfeiting while he was produceing it ( he said there was a fire or something)

    There is a thread on here somewhere about it

    Anyway
    Swapped all the ill fitting hardware
    Locking planetwaves tuners
    Piezo bridge
    JB/JAZZ set with TS rings
    Had the controls put down where i wanted them
    Got an access cover on back so i dont have to work thru the F-hole

    Should have gotten a battery box in back while there

    That was my first builder on Aliexpress
    He was a bit shady
    ............

    I have another double cut similar to it from a better builder

    Havent changed anything on it yet
    Super thin body weighs about 6 lbs

    Ed, What's the story on how this guitar came to be? Did you build it yourself? You hired a luthier to build it for you?

    Les Paul Classic Lite they have out now would be pretty close other than pickups, I'd like a set of 59's over anything Gibson makes

    String through
    Ebony board
    large frets, not super jumbo
    Duncan distortion or Black Winter pickups
    Flat black with dark blue hardware


    simple.

    This is the one I put together. For my custom shop guitar I would certainly keep the rosewood neck and the locking tuners. (Deep C neck profile, 9.5 inch radius, 22 narrow tall frets, bone nut) I would want to try an EVH 78 in there to see if I liked it more or less than the pearly gates.
    Maybe a more unique green color for my custom model as well. Thanks

    Since my uncle is a luthier and has his own line of guitars, then it would only make sense to get one made from him. What sucks is that he’s stopping making guitars for now, and he’s going to concentrate on repairs and winding how own pickups because of constant cash flow. So unless it’s something he has laying around, I doubt he would make one from scratch.
    Mine would be mahogany body with flamed maple top. Maple neck with ebony fretboard 25.5” scale, medium jumbo SS frets, string through body hard tail, and his proprietary pickups on that same configuration and electronics from the pic. I believe the chicken head is a 5-way switch for the bridge, and when combined with the toggles, you can split and combine with the middle pickup for all kinds of tones.
