Some more details:

One piece mahogany back
Deluxe Quilted Maple top
10-16 Pro Maple Neck with matching peghead veneer
Black Ebony fingerboard
SS6105 frets
Abalone inlays
Variax shaped angled headstock

Electronics:

Probably gonna do a Petrucci style PUP thing - Air Norton Neck, with D-sonic DiMArzios (always used SD before, but wanted a dedicated rock machine)
Can't decide whether to do the PRS style switching, or just a blend pot between the PUPs

Stuff:

Planet waves tuners
Tone Pros TOM

Any other ideas welcomed...

Nice! I like the TOM with it. That's a bridge that I don't often see on VIP's. The whole thing is gorgeous. Blue quilt with binding and chrome hardware is amazing!!!

 

[parker74]

Yeah - always been a big fan of blue quilt. There's something about blue guitars...

The plan was to build my ultimate guitar with all the features I like (obviously!):

I never use a trem or whammy, as I hate the way they detune the other notes when you bend a string, or when you give the strings a real heavy bash. Plus I wanted the increased string height off the body you get with an angled neck pocket - I like to dig in under the strings with my fingers sometimes. So a TOM it was. Tone Pros naturally.

Natural masked binding to show off the maple - made to stand out more by the black gloss of the mahogany rear. Contoured neck recess for access.

The neck is a 24.75" Gibson style for lower string tension at pitch, and getting that action down low. Satin clear finish on a standard slim contour on a black TUSQ 11/16's nut. Angled back headstock for no string trees. The peghead is a Variax shape - not quite a PRS shape, but nice all the same. Most importantly though, it gives the straightest string pull of the 3 a side options.

BTW - there's another deluxe quilted maple beauty on its was shortly - this time a customised Tele....dyed red on a 1-piece swamp ash body, with a middle PUP too. I love the sound of SD Alnico II Pro Tele pickups, so was gonna do a Strat/Tele PUP selection mix: standard tele, plus positions 2 & 4 of a strat. Will keep you all posted...

I know, that's why I quoted the quilt post. I was referring to and replying to that one.
