I would love to just take my CU22 and move the controls around. The blade is too darn far away. I would have to prototype some to figure out which pickups I want for sure; to decide on maple neck or mahogany; and to decide whether or not I want a middle single coil.
It would be something like this, though:
Custom 22 w/Trem
Pattern Vintage neck with Ziricote fretboard (CITES friendly, yay!)
509 control layout or Paul's Guitar control layout
Pickups could be 85/15, 85/15 MT, or narrow 408
For a twist of my own style, moons but with a J bird at the twelfth fret

I forgot to add that it will also have scarf joints on the neck for extra strength. And to say F the corksniffers.
Custom (or Standard) 24 with:
One-piece top (if Custom)
Fatback option
Gold hardware with wraparound adjustable bridge
IRW neck and board with hollow birds in Paua
Pattern Vintage neck with no neck binding and bone nut
Dragon 1 pickups with 5-way rotary
Color TBD

I drank the PRS kool aid, and it was tasty!
I already have it. My 92 EGII with 3 Lindy Fralin Dominos. And it's even blue.

“So, Les, I was only kidding about not making you a sig guitar. What would you like?”
“I have no idea, but let’s start with ancient Roman wood taken from the bogs at Vindolanda for some part of the guitar.”
“Why?”
“C’mon man, think of the backstory! Hadrian’s Wall Guitar! 2,000 year old wood!”
“Um...”
“Or maybe Cedar of Lebanon from Solomon’s Temple.”
“No one’s even seen...”
“Hey! I don’t mean to interrupt but let’s start digging! It’s gotta be down there somewhere! Also, let’s get some wood from the boats that were discovered buried in the sand near the Great Pyramid. 4500 years old! That’s so awesome! You’re saying yes, right?”
“OK, so much for the wood. Now let’s get to the important stuff. Inlays. I’m thinking Celtic knots, but from slices of solid gold Celtic Chieftain’s collars that ended in those knots, you know? Well, so what if we have to rob a museum? This is for a guitar, fergodsakes.”
“Bye, Les.”

My signature will be called “Back Pain Limited”. “Guaranteed to take a back problem and make it worse”.
It will be made of the most exotic, hardest and heaviest woods known to man. It will also be the worst selling signature of all time, cos CITES permits will be impossible to get.
Pernambuco neck, Snakewood fingerboard, African Blackwood top, Quebracho (Axe Breaker) or Lignum Vitae back.
Ok let’s make it a hollowbody out of good sense.

It will be known sympathetically as “Slipped Disc”
Wee story from a luthier friend, whose Dad taught him woodworking. As a young lad, he watched his Dad cutting Lignum Vitae, this stuff was that hard there were sparks flying. No wonder it was used for Police truncheons!

Yeah amazing isn’t it. It was also used as ball bearings in heavy machinery, including in the marine industry, because it performs as admirably as metal bearings. Can you believe that?It will be known sympathetically as “Slipped Disc”
