What is your dream guitar design, if you could have a custom guitar made by anyone. Electric, acoustic, 12 string, 7 string, baritone, bass, harp guitar, anything. Inlays, style, body size, fret numbers, anything. What would make up your dream custom guitar, anything goes.
My guitar:
A Guild guitar. Arch top electric/acoustic. It would be natural finish, slight yellow tint. 2 silver humbucker pickups. The inlay would be pearl on the edge of the body, where the F holes are, on the edge of the neck, and the edges of the head. A nice round les paul thickness neck. Then, on the head, it would say Guild and the Guild symbol, but inside it is my symbol (yes, I have a symbol for myself. It's done in photoshop, but mimicks old caveman drawings, just more modern looking. It's of a man with his arms streatched out to the heavens, but to cup what is above him. Above him is a dove again in caveman type drawing that is again modern updated. That would be right there on the head). Also, right on the truss rod cover reads RTh (my intials as ranting thespian). Then, definately rose wood fret board. Bone nut, wooden adjustable bridge. Also, it would be a regular guild tail piece. Also, every single piece of wood is solid wood, all mahagony. Once piece front, back, sides, neck. The neck also have 2 trussrods to make sure the neck never twitsts, both still adjustable. The tuners would be typical tuners. The fret inlas would be like on a gibson, but to be straight blocks, pearl inlays again. Also, so the frets never get grooves, they are coated in diamonds. You would melt the diamonds and coat it on the frets, not for looks, but to never make a groove) Then on the bottom of the neck, my signature as Ranting Thespian would be placed. Oh, it will also definately has to be a jumbo body, and a nice big deep one. There is also one more thing. Along with the 2 humbucker pickups, there would be a fishman acoustic pickup in the floating bridge. There would be a switch along with the switch to chose the different pickups. It allows me to switch it from electric to acoustic. So, I can play an acoustic sound of the guitar as well as an electric.
That's my dream guitar.
