I've been building recording quality custom guitars for New York's professional players for the past decade. Currently, you can hear my electric guitars in the Broadway show The Lion King and on Sony recording artists Bang On A Can's new CD Music for Airports. 
The neck-through guitar has a fat neck tone and long ringing sustain. My building process assures you that the sound quality, both clean and distortion, far exceeds a standard electric's ability. I make the body from Archtop grade Quilted Maple which I bookmatch to either side of the neck. The neck, a three piece Rock Maple laminate with an African Ebony fingerboard, is ultra stable and very fast playing thanks to the hand cut neck contour and smooth fretwork.I have built over 300 recording level instruments and back in my repair days I brought countless stock and factory custom shop electrics up to recording standards. I think the Marchione neck-throughs are exceptional electric guitars and I think you will too.
