I'd want Semie to build me this '59 Joe Maphis model. Course I would want it built in 1959, not a reissue. ;)

besides wanting what both Danny and Dennis described, I'd want a sunburst sidejack with a vibramute (with mute!), and three pickups. And, of course, speed frets!

Sidejack w. triple style binding (like the early JM solids)
Frets-vintage, like Fender
Nut width-same as Fender "B" on both necks.
Necks_ maple set neck with Indian rosewood fretboard

An off-the-shelf '63 Sidejack, in "like new" condition, would work for me. ;)

Danny: How long ago did you get that pic of Joe Maphus and his Mosrite? I have looked at a couple of times here before I realized where it came from. That store is located about 20 minutes away from me. They have some great guitars there but almost all are priced out of my reach.
