I've been thinking of a "dream" guitar so to speak. I think I may be onto something here (I could always use some input 
). I'm thinking of a tele style alder guitar with a Tonepros style bridge and a maple/brazilian rosewood neck. I figure this wood combination should give me the ability to put just about anything in there and it'll still sound good (I'd do mahogany/maple like on the Grosh, but I'd prefer the lighter weight and plain look).
What I think will make this better than even the H-S-S strats is that the minibucker in the neck will get a tone that even a single blended toward a humbucker can't get, and that's a really thick and warm tone (singles always tend to have a bit of sparkle, and the only way to come close to a good jazz tone is to roll back the volume and tone controls). Plus, I'm realizing 4 completely different tones is all I could ever need or want in a guitar.
Essentially, this will be a "super tele" of sorts. What the breaker will be is if my switching system will work. I'm thinking of a 4-way tele style switch for this. [pos 1] bridge hb alone (for distortion), [pos 2] middle sc alone (for jangly cleans), [pos 3] bridge hb split + middle sc (for quack), [pos 4] minibucker alone (for thick jazz/blues material).
I'm going back and forth on the idea of an acoustic system to go with it, maybe a Graphtech F.A.A.S. or Fishman drop in system (always liked their tone on higher end Parkers). I'm trying to start up a melodic rock band and I figure acoustic verses and distortion choruses would be a major plus if they could be done on the fly with one person.
Anybody think this'll work? I'm debating on selling a couple guitars to make this become a reality (I'm only planning on keeping the Grosh).
Here's some color layouts I was toying with:

The EQ slits on the top are a killer idea, I never even picked up on that when I was looking on the website :smack:
