My kind of music needs single coil chime,and thick drooling hum bucker for leads…How about a Reflex with an MM90 neck pickup,and a humbucker at the bridge!Plz tell me it can be done..one day…any others feel the same?
 
It*s the axis vibe,12inch neck radius, arm contour,and series/parallel switch..all thats missing is the mm90 option at the neck…not to forget all the other fabulous standard features that the reflex has…BUT..I only play them..I don*t build *em..

Sounds like the Reflex is the guitar for you. Why not swap out the neck pup for a P90? There are humbucker sized P90s on the market.
 
I like the parallel sounds from the Reflex, but if they're not chimey enough you could certainly swap out the neck pickup with a P90 or single coil. Though, you'd have to re-work the switching a bit to make sense.
 
I don*t want to mess around with a great guitar ,designed and tested by people much smarter at this game than myself.If it ever shows up down the road,I*ll declare a dividend and get one….till then …I*ll be playing some not so perfect,but really nice EBMM guitars..the elusive search continues.
