They're sure to become collectors items as soon as Homer dies.......
or sells out and does a runner to Peavey....

My dream guitar.
I think I'd go for something like a LUKE body, because it's very classic and sleak. Standard EBMM neck, obviously. Here's the twist though... I'd come up with some sort of easily switchable pickup system. What I mean by that, is I'd have it routed for HSS, but the H could be pulled quickly and an angled single coil could be dropped in place. I don't know how that is possible, but it always seemed like such a keen idea. That way, I truly would have a guitar capable of anything. I imagine the angled single coil would have a casing the size of the humbucker routing, and it would just drop and somehow lock in place...
With the easy wiring of EMG I'd like to think this is almost possible.
I'd got for 22 frets, and probably go for a wacky color like Burgandy Mist Metallic... or British Racing green with yellow EMGs. Mmmm... sexy.

I think one of those Walnut Burst F-1 Petrucci's would just about do it. (6-string.. Quilt top, of course!)
Of course, if it were my own guitar, I'd work with EBMM to tweak the neck radius very slightly. Perhaps a compound radius? I notice that for me, some riffs are harder to play in the lower portions of the JP neck. I think it would be a little more comfortable if the fretboard was slightly less flat (more round) in the lower frets... say from the 1st to the.. 5th or 7th. The radius on the upper frets is great for me. At least that's my interpretation of what I feel when playing.
Oh, and I'd do something fancy-shmancy with the inlays.

I think I'd like a Silhouette in Stealth Black with a reversed headstock. Piezo with a switch like the Petrucci. It would have the tone block and the Petrucci trem.
The inlays would be tiny hollow triangles.
It's the ultimate assault weapon.
The name on the headstock would be Foggy!

I've actually thought about this before I guess it would be somewhat elegant but also rocking, in the vein of a PRS/Luke/JP. Rosewood Fingerboard would be a must, maple neck

I would seriously pay alot for this guitar. That would be awesome at rock shows.
Do you mean maybe utilizing a wiring harness, similar to a car stereo? I have wondered if this could be possible. Have the input running through to the controls, and then from the conrols you simply plug in a pickup set and put them in place, like changing a car stereo. Any input on this from anyone electronics savvy?

I would have a hardtail Axis, with a solid rosewood neck. Standard everything else. I am quite easy to please!

Yeah, I suppose.
I think I know what you're getting at. If the middle single coil pickup was hardwired in place, and then the bridge and neck pickup could be changed from single coil to humbucker... I don't just mean coil tapping. I literally mean switching the pickups, based on the quick plug-n-play logic from EMG pickups. I know that the coil tapped humbucker isn't exactly a single coil, so if a quick switch was possible, then that'd be awesome. Maybe a rear loading pickup dock? It would make the guitar all-powerful.

The early MMs had interchangeable pickguards- great idea, but the drawback is you have to remove the strings and unscrew the pickguard before you get to the quick-disconnect. But tres cool.
Nothing magic about building a quick-disconnect for a pickup. If you were happy with the other controls (pots, switching) staying fixed you could probably wire up a quick disconnect for the wires from, say, the bridge pickup to the wiring harness. In that way you could pull out a bridge HB and put in a single. However you'd have to change how the pickup screws into the guard- right now there's a spring on the underside. I'm sure you could rig up something more clever to hold it in place, say a little magnetic clip or something. And with a trem you could slacken the strings enough to be able to pull out the pickup and swap the new one back in. You'd still have a blank space in the pickguard, though, where the other half of the HB was ...
If you really liked you could wire up a toggle to add additional resistance in parallel to the pots, to make the 500k pots 250 at the flick of a switch.
For a studio guitar this would be cool, you could take the time to pop in new p'ups in your "convertible". But probably still be a hassle to do it. The old-fashioned way keeps you buying more guitars

Erm, a Luke BFR to be honest. Though it would have to be Pacific Blue Burst withe alder stained dark blue rather than painted black. And a big bit of Duck tape over the LUKE on the headstock and my name written in crayon instead
