Default the best of the best of the best

If you could build a guitar that was completely constructed of the best attributes from other guitars, what would you build?

I would take a 70's gibson es175 body with a prs wide-thick neck and a new yorker headstock with grover tuners. seymour duncan bridge pickup with a p-90 neck pickup. oh, and a bigsby of course. What would you do?

heres a pic to get your imagination in gear:

I would just make a self-playing guitar, so I can shred and still be lazy:

body of a 70's 335 (with coil tap and trapeze bridge). 3 pickups.. Burstbucker pro in neck, dog ear p-90 (or lipstick pickup) in middle, pearly gates in bridge (coil tappable). Pull-pot series/parallel switches for pickups. I'd also have a kill switch on the guitar for all pickups. Neck of my Jazzmaster (wtf? yeah, why not?) Sperzel tuners. Matte silver finish.

Wow. That's one seriously ugly guitar.

I would make one with a mahogany body, mahogany neck, mahogany strings, mahogany tuners, and mahogany pickups.

Unlike the Mormons, I'm a great believer in mahogany as a way of life.
