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.

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
............

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

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. ThanksLast edited by Kac; 06-28-2021, 06:05 AM.

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.
