I recently checked out a Fernandez with a sustainer, not a bad guitar at all. I would say a great guitar to own in an Edge focused collection (next to for example a Les Paul and a Rickenbacker). It could replace the ubiquitous strat.
Warwick introduced the Streamer CV - Classic Vintage - bass at NAMM 2013. Now Adam Clayton ordered his own Custom Shop Streamer CV according to his personal needs.
This bass comes with a Swamp Ash body, a one-piece-maple neck and a maple fingerboard with a 9 1/2" radius equipped with Mother-of-pearl inlays.
Adam Clayton's Streamer CV is fired with passive Seymour Duncan SPB-3 pickups combined with passive MEC electronics.
Matching with the beautiful Gold Solid Finish, Warwick dressed this Custom Shop Streamer with a white pearl celluloid pickguard.

It has the same passive pickups that are in the Warwick 'Reverso: Adam Clayton Signature model'
I'm thinking of getting a Les Paul -shaped guitar, but I don't want Epiphones and I don't have the money for Gibsons, so other brands are the way to go. I wanna go for a new axe although used would be welcome too.
I've seen this beauty which has lots of passionate reviews (mostly everyone who's played it puts it above Epiphones, for less than half the price)... It's the AXL 1216. It also comes in other amazing colors and finishes (below).
The blue crackled one is the one I'd get if the brown wasn't available. Or maybe both, at that price
Forgot to mention that every guitar is handmade, uniquely aged... So I could end up with a pretty different guitar that the ones seen there. That's part of the charm in my opinion.
The important part: they are supposedly very well built and set-up, and the pickups are reportedly great. I'm not a fan of judging guitars by Youtube vids but there ain't much info on this axes otherwise, so Youtube it has to be:
