I'm thinking pretty seriously about ordering a custom shop Heritage H535 guitar and wanted some feedback about feedback, and a neck shape/ profile. This will be the first guitar I've ever custom ordered and I want to get all the specs right before I place my order. So far, my custom will have the following options-
-Big Neck profile
-Island Burst, (Similar to the picture)-

-Locking tuners
-A Stetsbar tremolo
-Seymour Duncan 59
59'/Custom (b) pickups
1) Essentially, this guitar is a Gibson ES-335. I want to use it for classic hard rock and a little bit of 80's metal (Rush, Thin Lizzy, Wolfmother & shred on occasion) I love how semi hollow bodies sound, especially on the neck pup (they're huge sounding), but because they're not solid, some notes get lost. Also, because it is a semi-hollow, feedback can be a problem under high gain. Would there be a way to combine the attributes of a solid body, but still have the massive sound the Semi-hollow's have? When I do a tapping run, I don't want the notes to die out.
I've thought about going the BB King route with no F-Holes and an electronics access panel on the back of the guitar, but I don't know if that will give me the tone I'm looking for? Would you have the guitar with or without F-Holes?
2) I'm looking for a massive baseball bat neck. I'm thinking 50's gibson les paul Traditional meets a compound radius profile. Does such a neck exist? Could someone suggest a neck that would have similar dimensions? I need to forward the dimensions to Heritage. I want a very fast, chunky and comfy neck.
Thanks-
