[Shredcheddar]

I want the guitar which, combined with my amp, produces the ideal tone that I imagine in my head. I don't know which one this is, but it's the one I dream about.

[Rainer.]

My custom made creation... At least, I would if I had the cash

Birds-eye maple neck, Fender C shaped
Matching maple headstock w/quilt maple veneer, angled back 13 deg.
Brazilian rosewood fingerboard
24 fret neck, 25.5” scale length, 12”-16” radius
Fret spaces scalloped after 12th fret
Bolt-on neck with all-access joint
Body black/green/blue 3 tone sunburst, black dyed headstock top w/ white logos
Neck w/ natural satin finish
Cream binding around body
Vine-style full-fretboard inlay, in Abalone

Schaller locking tuners (Gold)
Wilkinson Tremolo (or similar), installed with GraphTech GHOST saddles (Gold)
Gold pickup rings
Earvana nut
Jumbo frets
Schaller Straplock-ready buttons (Gold)
Gold dome knobs with abalone caps
Gold square jack plate, LP style

Seymour Duncan JB in bridge position

EMG-VMC and EMG-BTC tone circuits
Stereo phone jack to Acoustiphonic Preamp
MIDI Volume
Midi jack
AXON synthesizer
COMPLETE INTERNAL SHIELDING
which basically turns into this:


And the finished product will look something like this:



I'm debating making this into a neck-thru thinline version... It would look sweet either way...

[Mattlock]

Geez Rainer, that reminds me of Cheshire and his Utah.
My dream guitar would be a pre-2000's Gibson Les Paul Standard, a PRS McCarty Standard, a Fender HSS or HH Standard Strat, a Fender HS or HH Tele, or something of the sort.

Or maybe just every guitar type ever made, huh?

Not the desing, just the big post about your guitar. You know? Cheshire's Utah post is always amazing.

Yeah, sure. Why not?

[bluesman]

The one this guy's playing. I'll take the amp too.

[bek1]

Bluesman, THAT is mojo. Dang.

[Saxophone]

My dream guitar will be appearing in the not so distant future. A true jazz guitar, a Gibson ES137. In bluesberry burst of course.

[fretbuzzard]

1968 LEs Paul Custom...

sigh...

Sybil the mojo axe...

Hey bro, how are you doing? Me, not so good. Our other half of central air is now out. I'm gonna have to sell gear to stay afloat... I need some prayers here bro. So much for the Classic...

[Mattlock]

Dang Bluesman, how old is that second guitar? Is that a Gibson?
