I'm interested in the Desert Yellow the most, but I would consider other whacky possibilities including your frankenstein experiments. The guitar can be a beater, but I obviously won't pay lots for a beater.

So if you have a 550 or some other RG you wouldn't mind unloading, let me know and I'll see if it's something I can take off of your hands. I'd prefer a
maple fretboard, but it's not a must. I'm also interested in Edge and Lo-pros if it has a trem.
If you're local to Raleigh, NC, I have a Mesa 8-space shock rack that I would consider trading.
