I'm still trying to figure this out. Either a V or some similar shape, but heavily customized down to the wood.

24 fret V on 24.75 scale and Star on 25.5 scale. Neck wood 3 piece with 2 different woods.

Either a V or a Star with a tremolo. Neck thru, surface mounted/stud mounted fine tuning tremolo. 2 humbuckers. There is another body shape I'm considering, but I, as not stop if I list it.

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
Oh boy... I've been thinking about it, and while I want some pretty specific things, it's actually not at all too crazy
7/8 Strat body shape
Chambered or hollow extra light weight swamp ash body with dark streaky grains
Transparent Purple finish
May or may not slap on a figured maple top
Roasted 5 piece maple neck-thru neck with wenge stripes and a KTS titanium truss rod
Maple fretboard
Abalone inlays
Gotoh 1:21 locking tuners
Medium C neck profile
12" fretboard radius
Stainless Steel medium-jumbo frets
24 frets
24.75" scale length
TUSQ nut or Floyd Rose nut with 1.65" width and Buzz Feiten Tuning System
Recessed modern 2-post tremolo bridge like Gotoh 510T, non-fine-tuner Floyd, or a Gotoh Floyd Rose
H-S-H pickups with either: zebra JB, black Area 57, and zebra Evolution Neck, or Tom Anderson H2, SF1, HN3+
5 way switch
Coil Split Toggle
Push pull for add-bridge to any configuration
Blower Switch

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
I got it roughed out in spec.
Body a blend of Iceman & Fleetwood. Fender scale. TOM bridge w/ string through body. Hot P90 in the neck & a hot PAF in the bridge with a push pull & some other switch goodies. Tobacco sunburst maple quilt top on a feather weight piece of mahogany. Ebony board with ibanez pearl/abalone split block inlays. '59 neck shape. Nickel hardware with the best set of locking Grover they make

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
Probably a tele constructed like a Gibson semi hollow. Fender scale, but built like Gibson made it. Three Duncan P-90's, with a rw/rp middle and 5 way, like a strat configuration. It would be a three way cross between a tele, P-90 strat, and 335.
It would be offered in satin black, satin gray, and satin pelham blue, with cream binding, black P-90's, and aged nickel hardware.

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
Yup! It's a switch that goes "ignore everything, bridge humbucker full blast!"
It's for times when you are on something like... neck + middle split with volume rolled down to like 3 to do a little clean chimey rhythm passage, then you need to immediately switch to do a fully distorted explosive lead riff. You don't have a whole lot of time to crank the volume and flip the switch at the same time. Now I don't channel switch much, but if you also need to step on the channel switch, you've got a tap dancing situation going on and it gets hectic.
Blower switch solves that problem.

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
A stock G&L Legacy is about as perfect a guitar as I could hope to have. I'd order it with the 1-C neck, maple board, locking Schallers, graphite nut, vintage tint with medium jumbos and the 12" radius. Lets make it an alder body with a flame maple cap, and natural wood body binding...in Cherry Sunburst. White pearl guard, and white plastics. DF Vibrato, of course.
And lets make it a pair. I'd really like a matching hardtail 12-string, with a 1.75" nut width and the 12" radius.

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
so poorly made and with tons of blemishes for a high dollar guitar? or you mean like old gibson, when they treated every guitar as a piece of art that had to be perfect to having just dots of solder on the pots and a finish so polished that it's shiny as a mirror perfect?
mine would be a classic flying v body with mirror pickguard and a reversed arpoon headstock
25 1/2 scale
schaller floyd baseplate
string saver saddles, titanium inserts
stone tone block
noiseless springs
compensated brass claw
Alexsander Chromov trem stabilizer
planet waves trimlock tuners (quick restring)
24 stainless steel frets + zero fret
double action titanium truss rod
deep bolt-on quartersawn roasted maple neck tinted dark brown and polished with boiled linseed oil
rosewood fretboard with a slight black tint and grain filled with black and grey pearloid binding and full iommi cross inlays on MOP
chambered mahogany body with maple cap and lead bar weights on critical mass spots
neck pickup is a pearly gates bridge with double row of hex screws and helper a5 magnets in a 12 hole aged raw nickel cover
bridge pickup is a duncan dimebucker
vol is an A500k push pull wired for blower switch tone is A500k .022uf orange drop cap push pull for activating a Q-filter, push is q-filter off, 3rd pot is a low end contour pot a backwards wired A500k push push pot that controls a black ice passive fuzz
it's avaible on black, green burst to indigo, blood red, transparent wine red and tarnish reliced white, only the maple cap on the body is painted with epoxy paint the rest of the body is finished with boiled linseed oil

Re: If you had your own signature guitar,
I'd get in my time machine, go visit the guys at Matsumoku, and have them make me an SH-series with the 6-in line headstock from the "Thor Sound" guitars. Preferably in the same blue as my Skylark. Oh, and lighter weight wood, if possible, those neck thrust can be "Norlin-era LP" heavy.
