How about throwing this subject off a a little bit.
I have a Jackson Fusion Pro I really like but I'd like it a lot better if it had neck thru construction for more sustain(thinking maple neck Mahogany wings or all mahogany), ebonyand bound fretboard, big mother of pearl inlays and I'd like to try a neck angle.
I also don't care to much about the tremolo bar.
It has a the short 24 3/4" scale and jumbo frets. 1 3/4" nut.
I was thinking about going with the gibson bridge but it only comes in 12" radius. I kinda like the 16" radius. It also has the strat style body so I don't know how it would look with a gibson bridge. I'm not too partial on fender bridges.
I'm also thinking of only going with one humbucker.
I kinda like the idea of doing most of it with hand tools, planes, is that crazy ?
Should I start a new thread since this guitar I really like is completely different from a 59 les paul ?
