Which:
1. Company would you choose
2. Pickups would you have
3. Strings and guage would you have
4. Finish options

I would have an Ibanez custom Biu RG99999999 :wink:
There would be two models. 1st would be a Blood-Red AAAAA Flamed Maple finish and the other would be Cerulean Blue AAAAA Quilted Maple top. Of course, there could be a beat up solid color one, every guitarist's gotta have a beater guitar!

The Red one would have a DiMarzio Super Distortion in bridge, a Virtual Vintage Blues in mid, and a PAF Pro in Neck.

The Blue one would have a DiMarzio Tone Zone in bridge and a PAF Pro in the neck.

The Beater version would have a Seymour Duncan Full Shred in bridge and Jazz in the neck.

Yowza! Those would be some sweet guitars! :dance:

What would you guys have?
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

1. Company would you choose

Tough choice ... I'd probably go with Godin or some other company that would be willing to faithfully recreate my design and improve upon it (with my consent of course)

2. Pickups would you have

Simple - SD's all the way. They'd probably mass produce them with JB/'59's instead of my usual Full Shred/'59 combo to make it more attractive

3. Strings and guage would you have

Whatever the factory set up was for those made. On my own I'd be using my usual sets

4. Finish options

Everything please


As long as they make 6 and 7 string versions I'm happy
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

Fender or G&L would be building my custom guitar, and it would drip Fender style but it wouldn't be any of their standard shapes (no Strats or Mustangs or whatever) Probably an offset Strat-style thing (Jazz bass as guitar?), with a C5 in the bridge and a quarterpounder in the neck. Hardtail stringthru blah blah blah.

Strings would be whatever...Fender bullets? sure, okay

There'd be black with black pickguard, graffiti yellow with pearloid, and a solid white with no pickguard. Oh and surf green with tortoise!!
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

1. Langley
2. EMG 89/SA/SA w/SPC
3. TransTrem-calibrated D'Addario XL .10s
4. black, blacker and "None more black!"
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

Hmm...Tom Anderson, Tyler, Melancon, or maybe Music Man

Too many tough choices

SD pickups.

Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

I am not sure about the brand, as long as they can make it good! I would either want a set necked mahogany super strat or an explorer with a 25.5" scale neck. Nothing too mad! May want a bolt on alder bodied guitar instead though. I am not sure about the pickups, something tight and mediumly balanced eq in bridge and a very warm neck pup. I would stick with my trusty Ernie Ball Power Slinky 11-48. Would have a variety of finishes, some solid, some quilted tops with nice classy binding!
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

1. Gibson Explorer ('84 style with no pickguard, and different control& toggle placement)
2. DD/59
3. GHS 11s
4. White
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

easy

1. Gibson.... LES PAUL CUSTOM in NIckel hardware and a 60's slim taper neck with grover tuners and pearloid dot inlays
2.Seymour Duncans jb/59 combo
3. Ernieball skinny top and heavy bottoms .10-.52
4. Available in black, wine red, alpine white, satin brown ( hehe) and silver burst ( only available to me and not sold to public! HEHE)
 
Re: If you had your own signature guitar...

DEFINETLY a fender strat. (i've thought about this one before)

neck: birdseye maple neck with a BUEATIFUL grain and nice tint w/ a bone nut (nice tone for open chording), (can you do that?) no inlay except for the 3rd, 7th, and 12th fret with diamond shaped abalone dots :32: (all about the neck)

body: alder with a some kind of 2 tone burst and some of the laquer(or poly) sanded off so it's mostly dull. (this way, when someone looks at this guitar they are mostly focused on this bueatiful neck) i've heard it also sounds better if you do that.

hardware: gold w/ no trem

pickups: some kind of low output vintage strat pickups

strings: i like fenders super 250s

'course i'd have another one just like it with a bright red burst with a AAA flamed maple top.

nobody mentioned their own guitar? hmm...

edit: forgot the strings

Suhr Strat the same thing as above but with an emg81, with a TOM bridge

Gibson almost did it perfect for me with the SG. The only thing I would want would be.
1)ebony fret boards with no inlays
2)string thru body
3)Duncan pups
4)see-thru satin black finish
5)no pickguard
