perhaps it is more the type of music you play, as any single cut is going to be problematic for certain genres
I will remedy this with a telepaul build and i have a dc tele idea kicking around, they'll all have short scales
perhaps if people tried flat top junior styles they might prefer them over a full fat version

Nobody moans about Gretsch or ES175 upper fret access, and it seems churlish to criticise any 1952 jazz guitar for discouraging modern rock techniques just because it happens to have a solid body.
I do like a junior though and a couple of years ago I bought a PRS SE Tremonti Custom and that solves nearly all the problems (still a bit heavy) and sounds great with some Oil City Blue Streaks installed.
This kind of thing maybe?
They do sound fucking great though and black customs just look awesome. I think an ESP Eclipse might be the ideal compromise for me, the thinner bodies with belly and neck contours are comfy, they sound the same to me. Look cooler than a PRS singlecut.
Edit - or that @FelineGuitars The Paul style one looks awesome!
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Agreed, I wasn't including Juniors or Specials in my earlier gripes. I like them a lot, they're much more manageable, with thinner bodies and shallower neck angles.
That said, I wouldn't mind if the slab bodies had a bit of comfort contouring like Jonathan's blue Lion in the picture above.
Next flat tops will get body contours and anything else i find that annoys to some extent fixed or at least try it out

Can never decide if the sound will still be as good as I want it.
Re: the Bernie - they are incredibly hyped and I can see why, the quality in general is excellent. But the thick neck - a feature that sells it for some people - puts me off. But the fact the quality is so good makes me nervous I'd regret selling it.
