Does this body exist? (H/S/H, non-recessed trem)

[Number Of The Priest]

No point restating the question, it's all there in the subject line. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Is there such a thing as a Dinky/Strat body that has the H/S/H pickup configuration like a DK3 or PS4, but has the all-important-to-me NON-RECESSED TREM ROUTE? The control layout should at least be a blade switch (5-way) and at least one volume and one tone.

Related question... for a body to have a non-recessed trem (42mm sustain block length), is the body's neck pocket angled/ramped to accommodate the higher bridge, or would I have to buy a neck that is angled at the neck heel?

I want to build my own mutt, that's why I'm asking about this particular body! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

See, somebody has a PS4 body for sale in the Classifieds, and I'd TOTALLY go for it had it had a non-recessed trem route. Didn't want to post it in the Classifieds, as everyone is barred from saying "If only it had _____________, I'd hit it!" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yes, I'm obsessed about tiny little features nobody even cares about... woo!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Me asking for these little things is probably about as futile as everyone who comes in every few months to ask about 24-fret Rhoads without heavy modifications. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Here's what you do. You buy that body, then you route out the top and glue in a nice heavy chunk of maple (like a Les Paul). Then you just need to cut a hole for the non-recessed OFR. Final route is to route the neck pocket with an angle to deal with the higher bridge height. I've done this before freehand with no templates, so I know it can be done.

Of course it maybe easier and cheaper to just buy a body done like this...
