Take out the neck pickup and solder the bridge directly to the volume or drop in a single coil rail pickup in the bridge?

Can’t tell, though, if short-scale in your OP means Gibson-scale? The Godin Summit SG P90 has a maple neck and can sometimes be had for a good price. If 25in would be acceptable, examples of the Fret King Esprit I are plentiful. Both have angled headstocks, though.
Schecter’s Paul Wiley signature might fit the bill - mahogany neck, but three-piece and reinforced with carbonfibre rods. Quite smart-looking IMO for a guitar that’s way outside my wheelhouse. Not cheap, but there’s a mint used one at Langley Guitar Centre for £850.
Anyone have any experience with them?
Of course there are more expensive versions of this but you get the idea.

All modern MIM Duo Sonic bodies are routed HS. Conversion is a simple matter of swapping the stock pickguard for a custom ordered one with fewer holes cut through it.
