Re: If you have a signature Guitar, which company?
I'd also probably consider Washburn.
Were it Fender it's be a 70's heasdstock/logo tinted maple neck, 4 bolts into a swamp ash body, vintage trem(stock 5 springs down to body), black with BWB pickguard, H H korean active pickups(available at rondo end of the summer...). Possibly the word 'Dead' in cursive engraved into the guard. Mexican made, fretwork spec of hte highest order. Medium frets, 9.5 radius, stock with 12-52 strings in standard. Biotch!
Washburn would be a black Idol, MIK, chambered all Sapele body, no F holes. Same pickups(I love those things), No inlays on finger board white binding on everything(WHITE!) kinda pointy Les Paulish pickguard. Once again, BWB with 'Dead' engraved into it. Large brass 'SG' type bridge, brass tailpiece.
Ibanez would be based on the old Roadstar, basically identical to the Strat, but with Ibanez's latest 2 point trem(as seen on SA2020) and a plain maple top over alder(for strength agaist the 12s).
