Does a guitar like this exist???

Just saw a Reverend Rick Vito and was totally inspired. It has just about every feature I'm looking for, unfortunately I'm not so in love with the looks - call me shallow.

My question is, does any other guitar out there have similar specs (i.e., korina body and neck, bound ebony (or brazillian rosewood) fretboard, p90 neck pickup and supro bridge pickup) or would I have to have it custom built?

The reason I ask is that I currently have a jr. with korina body and braz rosewood neck. I'm debating on selling it as a 50's repro (which is what it currently is) or having it modded to fit a supro bridge pickup and p90 in the neck.

Thoughts????

Well the first thought that cam to my mind was to mod the LP, so long as you aren't
killing the value of a nice guitar, or if you aren't in love with it.

Or, a similar guitar is a Duesenberg. Nigel Hendroff plays one like that...
P90ish neck, hot bridge, Bigsby style trem, hollow. They're spendy tho.

I say, get over the looks and buy the Rick Vito! They do come in black, by the way.
