p90 gas

[vtpcnk]

what i want :

2 P90s
wraparound bridge
gibson double cut body shape
slim taper kind of neck
under $800

haven't been able to locate a single product on the market which comes with all these options for that price.

some of the other products available in the price range (but which lack some of the features that i am looking for) are :

1. gibson dc special - doesn't have wraparound bridge.
2. hamer special - doesn't have wraparound bridge.
3. gibson lp jr - has only bridge pickup. how easy is it to route for a neck pickup? also would such routing weaken the neck/body join? once saw a mij tokai lp jr go for like $250 on ebay because the owner had sanded off the finish off the neck. that would have been a good project for routing i guess.
4. heritage 137 - single cut body.
5. prs mira with p90s - but has fat neck and is like $1500. likewise prs mccarthy etc are too expensive.
6. i used to own a fender stratosonic that i loved - am thinking of that again. but already own a strat and would like a different body shape.
7. guild bluesbird or blues 90 - single cut and no wraparound.

would love to own a prs/guild/heritage/hamer - as i would like to own atleast one guitar of each legendary guitar company

any other options? appreciate any suggestions.

no wraparound bridge, but these might be close. i'm not a HUGE fan of the body shape, and who knows what the neck feels like, but they're close.

and for the price it might be worth it even if there are a few features that are off. of course they're only possible to find online, so you couldn't test one first. at least not too easily.

Michael Kelly makes a guitar i think you may like, though it is a singlecut. Otherwise, everything you want.

I have a Michael Kelly Patriot that i love. Great playing and sounding guitar. Thin taper neck with a very comfortable shape.

You want a terrible idea involving a singlecut guitar and a bandsaw?

Behold the world's first and only 1959 Gibson Les Paul lefty:

Only a lefty would do something like that :guitarplayer2:

This has a TOM but they go for 8 sumthin.

Maybe this with a pickup swap to phat cats or something.

It occurs to me that maybe it doesn't exist with those criteria.  A different bridge, pickups, # of cutaways, or pricerange may nake that more doable.

Something like this?

Sorry, but it's not for sale.

Heritage makes a 137 DC. http://www.heritageguitar.com/models/h137dc_specs.html

A used one, if you can find one, should be under a grand.
