why not fill the entire cavity from the back with brass...the ultimate sustain block.

I actually heard (or is that factually?) that if you fit brass soles to your shoes then your sustain will be increased tenfold. Better ground transmission. Might be worth a try.

as much as I enjoy playing with my twanger, I feel pretty safe in assuring you that I won't be pissing on my own head

Look BG I may be just 'pushing a point' but why not replace the body with one cast in brass for the ultimate in sustain - then you could upgrade by changing the neck, pickups, electronics etc.
It'd feel like a totaly different guitar I agree but that's the price you pay for 'informed change'.
You can't do THAT on stage!
