My Superstrat is a Mahogany body with a maple cap, I asked for the maple cap because I wanted a Les Paul type guitar in a Strat shape. 

your age is 48 or 49?

Hmmm... well that isn't what I was expecting from the thread title!

I was thinking of something like this, which is really nice.

Was the guitar reassuringly expensive?

Lol, it was about 2K from Sims guitars. The band I'm in is sponsored so I never paid for it. Sims did a fantastic job, the build quality is spot on

I thought he made them with mahogany and a proper carved full thickness cap like a les paul, let me know if I'm wrong 

Interesting you have mentioned Probett as they were my first thoughts also.  
I think he does both mahogany and with a maple cap.
I would love to have just one guitar and never have to shop again and was thinking Probett might be the answer.

I like the idea of this strat but I think it would be a bit of a white elephant.  You would have to really love it to buy it. 

I've played one and yeah, you might think it would be a white elephant, but trust me, that guitar will last for ever!
