Which would you like to see?

I personally am really digging the shape of the Yamaha SG1820, Its like a SG shape mixed with the thickness and hardware of a LP:

Another would be the Fireman from Ibanez. I would love to make a bass with a Fireman shape:

I really wish someone would make a cross between a Mockingbird and a Musiclander.  I say that because those are the two most comfortable guitars I've played.
 
25" scale necks.  :blob7:

On a lesser note, the ability to acquire a tele headstock with the rounded heel of a strat would be great too. Maybe this is possible already, but it doesn't seem to be.
 
Primarily a bass player, most of the showcase bass bodies are pre-drilled for the Gotoh 201.  That is the standard 5 bolt Fender flat mount, and most popular 4 string bass bridge routing, so it makes sense.  I'd like an option for a string thru retro routing for those bodies, or better yet, don't pre-drill anything and allow your choice hardtail like they do on a few others.

That's an option.  On unfinished Strat showcase necks, the headstock can be recut to the Tele headstock too.
 
Warwick Corvette bass body & Gibson Nighthawk guitar body. Probably not the best time to be copying another Gibson design, though the St Blues Bluesmaster looks very similar.
 
Not really a body or neck option, but I've always thought a pickguard for the Soloist would be cool. Kind of put it into the Ibanez RG range as far as looks go.

Ibanez Talman TC-body - only rear routed:

Wow - had no idea the Talman was a TALLman. That must be a 40" scale length.

This is the only suggestion I can second so far.
 
Fender Starcaster. The original, semi-hollow archtop one, not the current cheap Strat.
25" scale necks for 6-string guitars and 26", 26.5" or 27" for 7-strings.
More 7-string bodies, certainly. Anything would do, even just a more standard super-Strat than the weird, melted-looking one that is currently available.
More chambered and semi-hollow designs. I think this would be a no-brainer for any body style where lam tops are an option.
The Strat/Thinline Tele hybrid that Fender's Japanese division put out a few years ago. USACG offer it as a standard body style, but being in the UK, it's hard to order from them!
Vintage modern neck construction for more headstock shapes, especially conversion scale and tiltback necks. I can't stand the 'pro' construction, to put it simply.
Generally more bridge/pickup/neck contour options. To be blunt about it, every other company similar to Warmoth offers more hardware, electronic and profile options and with fewer upcharges, but Warmoth is the one with the fancy, easy-to-order website. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would buy twice as many Warmoth products if there were simply things like ToM and stopbars available on Jaguar bodies, EMG routes for 7-strings, etc.

But, most of all, I'd love a Sambora (ESP LTD SA-2) body style. Of course, it'll never happen. It's trademarked to buggery, I'd bet, and it's massively unpopular. But I'd love it.
 
Monkey grip handle route on body for beater/practice guitar (maybe Mr. Steve Vai and Ibanez have patent on this?)

==D Z-Body shape for guitar, but hollow/semi-hollow body with "Wicked" "Air Intake" styled "F-Hole"

Also, the Hetfield/Lawrence (?) Headstock is pretty badass (standard and/or reverse). I would probably like to pair it with the Semi-Hollow Body Z.  :headbang:

One can only hope, so that nobody else does it. Is 18" or so of neck so inconvenient to grab a guitar by that you have to route a handle into the body?
