• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Back around 1980 I 'designed' what I thought was the perfect solidbody:

Double-cut Junior shape
Neck-though body or deep tenon
Tele bridge or hardtail Strat bridge, strings through the back
Tele bridge pickup
Humbucker neck pickup with splitter

Might have been neck-heavy (a deal-killer for me) but it sounded great on paper! :biggrin:

That being said, I'm pretty much an Esquire/Tele and Les Paul guy. My 'desert island' guitar for many years was a certain '56 Esquire.
