If it goes down the path of a currently existing guitar, I do like the idea of a double cut LP junior with a Rick style cavity. Would look pretty cool.
I'm just sick of the eleventh billion strat variations. Most copied guitar ever...
(Gets ready for tomatoes to be thrown at me)
You could go with something with a long neck and 4 strings - oh wait, that's a bass.
Rick style bass anyone?

Rickenbacker 4003 (http://www.rickenbacker.com/model.asp?model=4003) - mono / stereo output (http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdfs/19507.pdf) solid ash / paulownia body with routing on the back to give full efect to the wudtone...
Thru neck (maple?) with a contrasting stripe on either side of the neck.
Oooh...

Other thing I was thinking - if we're talking a premium kit here - why not drop the pots, caps and wiring. If you're building a premier guitar, are you not going to want to replace them with CTS / Alpha pots, Orange Drop Caps and shielded wire? Could keep pickups as they are a big expenditure if you go brand name. Alternatively, a bulk order of CTS / Orange Drops / wire as part of the Community Guitar maybe?

I'm all for a thinline strat style, especially if it has an ebony board!
For what it's worth that sounds great to me too.Quote from tcjbrown on May 29, 2013, 11:20

Although a hi-bred instrument that is unique to Pit Bull would seem better.
Here are some (very rough) diagrams of LP/Strat body mock ups.
I am loving the second diagram. Pit Bull's own Steve Morse type guitar!

Didn't spot that myself, but yeah it is a bit like the Franken-Tele!
I also have a version of the first design with the neck single coil angled. However it seems just a bit too odd.
I'm not sure how the Strat Trem bridge and roller tune-o-matic combo would work, but seems a novel idea and increases the strenght of the LP/Strat mash-up.
The other idea I had was to place a classic Treble/Rhythm switch which single-coils the bridge p-up and/or does some out-of-phase selection.
Great idea. Im all for getting a guitar and then making it work. So timbers wise id be happy with what the masses wanted. Pick up wise humbuckers that are split coil. Cant lose. Cheers
The second one looks pretty cool, but will the angle from the strings from the trem to tuneomatic be a problem?
Would have to be a roller bridge too.
