Has the solid feel/sound of a Great Gibson Les Paul
Body thickness and contours of a Great Strat
Can reach the higher frets like a good Gibson SG
And, can coil tap giving a great Strat and not a Thin sound
Solid operational whammy bar system.

I know its asking a lot, but I'm exploring the purchase of a new guitar that will allow me not having to switch during sets.

Classic Rock...Zeppelin...Bad Company...ZZ...Hendrix...SRV...Beatles...
Southern Rock..Skynyrd..Hatchett....38 Special...
Country....older and some new

Thanks
 
I bought a mahogany strat body topped with maple and put two Duncan humbuckers in it along with a Floyd Rose and a "smart" 5 way switch that in position 2 and 4 puts the pickups in parallel instead of series (thins it out like a single coil without the hum) and I think it covers the bases pretty good for what you're describing. It has a Wayne strat head neck with a rosewood board. Relic Olympic white finish by MJT.
 
I would say call Carvin & have them build one from scratch for half of what most off the shelf guitars cost. That's what I did, I love mine.
 
isnt this pretty much exactly what prs was trying to do
 
I just don't think anything can nail all those things exactly. But PRS or a Superstrat with the right electronics can get you close enough.
 
Suhr special build Mahogany pro series S-5 HSH. I have one with a Floyd and one with a Gotoh 510 bridge and they are both what you are looking for...IMO
Maple cap on Mahogany with mahogany neck and rosewood board. It is my go to for almost anything like this. If I go to any musical event and don't know what to bring its one of these two....cover a ton of ground. They were a limited run but I see them for sale from time to time.
 
I haven't played a PRS that could pull off the strat thing with any real conviction. Just my opinion, I have two, great guitars but far more Les Paul than strat
 
I would say the PRS DGT is closest to what he's looking for. I own one, but it doesn't nail a Fender tone but the coil tap feature is pretty good. It's in the LP ballpark but doesn't nail an LP tone either, but it's about as close as you're going to get. I've owned Suhr's and Andersons and the DGT gets closer to an LP tone than any of the one's I've owned.

But the DGT is really sweet, big ass frets, a very comfortable neck, an awesome tremolo. One thing that it DOES do extremely close to a LP is those neck pickup lead tones....think Gary Moore Still Got The Blues.

If you wanted the most versatile guitar I think nothing can beat an Anderson Drop Top with HSH pickup config with their switcheroo system.

My DGT looks like this one.

:yes: :yes: :yes:

I was only half kidding! I played one about two weeks ago and I cant think of a guitar that I've debated buying more. To the OP, check out Carvin. I played my first Carvin 2 weeks ago (pictured below) and was sold immediately. I picked up this star thing of a guitar because I thought it would be funny, and oh my damn was it a beast of a guitar.
