Top Rout Soloist

[rlefty]

I realize there is another suggestion thread for a soloist pickguard, but my suggestion here is for the whole shebang: a top routed soloist with shape specific pickguard.

A few reasons for this:

First: it would just look great.
Second: This is where I'm at currently. I have a soloist routed for HH, but over the past year or so I've really come to love the sound of a single coil in the neck. Every time I build a strat, I get universal routing for this reason. It would be great to just order a new pickguard and install whatever configuration I'd like to try in it, without (likely) ruining the existing body by trying something stupid (pickup related).
Third: it would just look great.

If we do this, go ahead and do a 7/8 Soloist. I dare you to see how fast my card would be charged.

I'm willing to enter into a competition with TBurst to see whose card gets charged faster*.

I just came across this guitar. It's Japanese domestic Kino Stay model. This is what I'm talking about... is this not a great look?

YES!  Also, a 7/8's body blank would work for me too.

So, basically a Suhr Standard

I'd buy a top routed soloist w/pickguard so freaking fast
