That's basically exactly what I want, but probably a doublecut and either with two pups or one.
I think the gold top isnt that ugly, I especially like the P90s, I was thinking about the Epiphone, cause the Gibson is waaay off my budget.
The thing about the goldtop is that it's like an LP standard with a carved top.
The one pictured is like an LP special/jr. with a flat body. Very stripped down and cheaper.

That Red LP special you posted is part of the Epiphone Japan series, not available to America. You can tell by the headstock shape, it's more like a Gibson and not that ugly shape that epi uses for the Gibson style models.

DO WANT
You can get fingerboard extensions like that on upright basses - freaking brilliant to do it on a guitar. (even though a partial capo would do the same thing)

Ibanez does that standard on a whole series of wanky guitars, not with the strat plate mind you, but with a flush mount jack in the same spot.
I know I've seen it on other guitars before.
You still came up with the idea yourself, even if others were doing it before it was unbeknownst to you, and that counts. Not where patents are concerned though.

I love the transition Strats, but with the CBS headstock.

LOZL.
This guys was explaining how ESP in Japan makes only totally custom stuff like this and they don't offer any standard models. That was weird to me.
Anyway, I thought MANOWAR was an old dead band, but turns out they're still around and are serious about what they do. I couldn't believe it after listening to their whole album called LOUDER THAN HELL. It was soooo terrible.
Apparently they held/still hold the official record for Loudest Band In The World. DAMMIT.
