In search of the perfect axe

[motomoto]

I've bought several guitars, sold others.
Axes coming and going and still, i haven't found something that satisfies me completely in the point that i can say ''enough,this is my ideal axe''.
I know that having a luthier built one is a solution, and i do have this idea in the back of my head.
The thing is i know there is a production model quite close to what i want but there is a characteristic that prevents me from buying it.
The guitar is this one:

BUT I WANT A FIXED BRIDGE FFS.
Everything else is perfect for what i wan't/need.
Neck through,necks satin finish,body wood,pickups,colour,tone etc.
If they only had it with a fixed bridge i swear i would sell all my guitars and get this one.Tremol-no is a solution but still you have to sacrifice some of the sustain the FR cuts off(and in the search for the holy grail there are isn't any compromise)
So i will wait until i say fuck it and built a custom one, or until they decide to put a fixed bridge to the TAT special


So what is your ideal guitar/bass?

Have you found it?

Is it out there somewhere waiting for you?

And of course if it's out there don't make this thread useless by not posting picks

The only guitar (for metal) I could picture myself liking even more than my Dellinger is one of those:

I'd love to have both... now that I'm getting more and more offers for the Caparison, I'm getting more and more reluctant to sell it. Why? I did pick it up again... damn.

With a change of pickups and a general overhall, i don't think there'd be much that would beat my old ibanez les paul. Not a lot to look at, but it plays and sounds beautiful. 70s guitars FTW!

My Charvel So-Cal is friggin' amazing. With a few tweaks it's become my favorite guitar.

after I bought a Dean Vendetta 4. and played on it a long time and don't touched my Jackson SL-1 I have to say after switching back to my Jackson, the SL-1 is the perfect guitar I ever bought.

Hey dude, check out this thread

http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/541867-recommend-me-guitar.html

Obviously the axes being recommended in there are a bit more budget minded, but I think there were some good posts (such as mine ) about what to look for in a good axe that might help!

EDIT: NM, I see you already posted a couple of times in there But yeah, for tone, set-neck > neck-thru IMO!
