there are alot of luthiers out there that can make a guitar
any way you like for about 1.5X the price of a martin or a taylor (blanchard, applegate, ryan's). as for electrics, a mcnaught is as nice (or nicer) than a PRS for about the same money. or go to e-bay and look at the two melancon electrics for sale... AND, IMHO, you need a really good tube amp to play through or you're wasting your time, and there are a bunch of "boutique" amps out there as well, hand-made point to point wiring, the whole nine yards. if you like to spend $$$ there's plenty of choices available. the only area i see lacking is wire (i.e.- guitar cords, interconnects between stomp boxes or rack gear, etc.) but no doubt they'll get there soon enough. as of right now it's usually Monster cable that is sold as "premium".
