    Suggestions for new Solidbody electric

    Howdy fellow guitar enthusiasts. I was about to start a new electric solid body build for myself but wanted to ask the forum for suggestions on what everyone would like to see. Shapes, scales, headstock, styling. I have two Seymour Duncan Fender type pickups already wired I would like to use but that is flexible. Bit would be nice to save the $200 they cost. A few design parameter I would like to work with.
    Solid Body
    String Saver Saddles. I can design and machine my own bridge. (Full cnc shop) So if there is something you have wanted to see in a bridge assembly let us all know.
    NO CHROME... Unless it is black chrome or that cool rainbow color chrome,
    Natural wood finish. (heck I can use aluminum but @bostosh already mastered that material.)
    Solid neck with Bonded fingerboard over the truss rod.

    Aside from that I would love to see how a guitar design by committee turns out.

    I will do all my design and programming in ZW3D. This is NOT promoted or endorsed by ZW, it is just what I use. All jigs and fixtures will be designed and manufactured by myself.

    So any ideas throw them out.

    bc rich warlock and warbeast are still the coolest designs ever done in my opinion , and I love the feel of the neck on my warlock . Some sort of hybrid based from those would be wicked , bat winged inlays and that sort of thing . I may be old but I still have a dark side lol

    They look pretty similar. Maybe I can 'curve' them some.
