dream *Custom* guitar

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.

Epiphone chet SST. Add a fishman acoustic I under the bridge, and replace the saddle with a bone one. Also put on one of those firedancer truss rod covers on. Also put on ebony tuners. Anything gold plated on it will be replaced with gold.

thats what i can actually get...
heres my dream...

Treys style of body, made out of stained koa. An angus young humbucker in the neck, fender (sry its got a nice blues sound) texas special single, and a Phat cat jazz humbucker in the bridge, and a fishman acoustic natural II pickup. Bone saddle, Ebony tuners, gold hardware on everything, and a firedancer truss rod cover. Ebony Fret board, with black pearl star inlays. Also an ebony headstock. With gibson les paul style, gold volume and tone knobs, and a 5 way switch....
forgot the double cutway fret board as well. and 2 f-holes...

inspiration for the dream guitar.

Yeah, I'd probably like a guitar like trey's and switch it to a Telecaster shaped body instead of the Strat shaped body.

As fas as acoustics I have no idea. It would be a Martin Dreadnaught of some kind. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions.

Santa cruz guitar company pretty much already made the guitar of my dreams for someone else. It has a redwood top, flamed sycamore sides, and its a 13 fret. :shock:

Looks like a steel string to me, is it juineaux?

I dont really care for the headstock, I dont hate it, I just prefer the "regular" steel string ones
