A few years ago my co-guitarist and good friend started building guitars and I ordered a custom spec-ed Cali-esque (shocking, I know) neck thru I called the Burrito. 
It was intended to be essentially an amalgamation of the best qualities of a Custom Shop Jackson Soloist and Custom Hamer Cali. While it was a fine instrument, there were a few minor items that needed redressing. To his credit, instead of correcting the issues on the Burrito, he opted to build me whole new one to which I added some spec changes- gone are the 27 frets so there is now room for a Fernandes Sustainer. I also had the control layout a little different- more ergonomically positioned. The FU Tone Floyd will be replaced with a much better (IMHO) Schaller Lock Meister. The bridge p'up was a SD TB-6 Distortion, is now going to be either a SD Pegasus or a Gravelin Mongoose.
The final item is purely aesthetic and cosmetic- the green stain was a little too dark on the original Burrito and he's handily remedied that with this brilliant emerald stain!
