Need build advice; torn between two and what to do.

So, I have this old early 90s Strat-style 24 fret (yes, overhang like whoa) 16" radius birdseye maple/birdseye maple neck that's 24" scale.  I've been told that the only bodies that this will fit (currently) are the Mustang/Jagstang/Jaguar bodies.  I'd like to use 2 or 3 P90s and either a hardtail or Jaguar trem, and I'd like to finish it myself.  So, I need a body that will look classy with that neck.

On the other hand, I have an early 90s LP Jr that's metallic purple, has 1 humbucker (JB), a black Tele style bridge and black hardware.  I need a neck for this, and I was thinking baritone, but lately I'm thinking conversion scale exotic with the LP headstock.  I'd like to have rosewood as a fingerboard for this one, either way.

Opinions; ideas?  I'm only wanting to tackle one of these at a time, so which would you do?

I'd go with the junior and the conversion neck.  Sounds like a great guitar, and you can probably get it up and running quicker than that other project, thus letting you move on to the next project all the quicker.

You are a man of my own heart, haha.  That's sorta what I was thinking.  These aren't conversion, but I LOVE both of them.  What do you think?

This is what I'm leaning towards, though.

I love that Brazilian fretboard, but its on a maple neck.  Nothing wrong with maple, but I'd rather try more exotics.  Its too bad that piece of Brazilian wasn't on the wenge neck, or even the canary neck. 

All three are great choices, it really comes down to which one you prefer.

those are all great looking. even tho that fretboard is ahhmashzzing, I'd probably skip it just because it is maple. I'd go for Canary, but then I'm extremely canary-biased from a looks standpoint. I agree, any of those would be cool. :glasses9:

Get the Canary neck, it's lovely. You shouldn't even consider that maple/Brazillion piece of junk. I only say this because I've had my eye on it for PRS 503 inspired build :headbang:

I pulled the trigger on the Canary/Ebony neck.
