Re: Your own signature guitar?
It would be
Soloist shape
24.75 scale neck, 15" radius, 22 frets
Ebony board
Adler body
Flame maple top
Rock maple neck
2 x HB w coil splits in each
Bone nut
Hardtail strat bridge
1 volume, 1 tone
Three way switch
White side dot markers and pearl fretboard dots standard pattern
Schaller locking straplocks
Clear lacquer finish on body
Curable oil on fretboard.
Pretty standard stuff, but I'm all about simple playability, nice tone and no frills. Just high quality woods components and workmanship.
Oh wait, that's right... I'll be building this very guitar at the Ormsby guitar building course in two weeks! Boom!

^I lol'd
I would basically have whatever company make me copies of my number one, but I'd make sure they're slightly crappier. If the copies ended up better than my number one, then my number one wouldn't be number one anymore.

Re: Your own signature guitar?
i build guitars like you want to, so you don't have to be famous to get what you want
i mostley have 1 price and that incl. everything the choice of pickups, the type of neck bridge
here is one i build for Wim Roelants, the neck is based on his yamaha guitar,and have a tele look headstock and the volume/tone and switch are on a different place
it is his signature
the body is made from sheet steel, and the pickups are handwounded (also his signature)

Re: Your own signature guitar?
I'd probably have something like the old Hamer Californian with exotic wood, with a see through dark wood finish, and custom Seymour duncan pickups (humbucker bridge and single coil neck) that are kinda vintage modern. And lighted dot inlays hahahaha

Re: Your own signature guitar?
Mine would be loosely based on the Gretsch Black Falcon.
-Center block semi hollowbody maple, full 17'' width and white binding
-Maple neck, ebony fingerboard with stainless steel frets and half moon inlays, 50's Gretsch profile, bound neck and 25.5'' scale length
-vertical Gretsch headstock, Grover sta-tite open back tuners
-Filtertron bridge pickup, Dynasonic neck pickup
-No Bigsby tailpiece, it'd be the Electromatic "G" tailpiece with a pinned nickel tune-o-matic bridge
-finish would be a gold flake like what was released on the MIJ Duo Jet guitars with nickel hardware
-master volume in usual location, 3 way pickup selector in usual location and a single 3 way tone switch by where the master tone knob is usually located.

Re: Your own signature guitar?
ive personalized 2 of my guitars so much, they are considered sig guitars to me
im pretty sure the pickups/guitar combo' and mods would make these 2 guitars somewhat unique

Re: Your own signature guitar?
Can't believe I missed this first time around.
I'm stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill working on my (read: haven't worked on in 4 years) self-issued signature guitar.
It has the upper half of the body as a PRS Singlecut shape, lower half as a Telecaster shape, a QP Tele bridge pickup, a middle P90 hidden under the pickguard, and a mini-humbucker neck pickup.
Basically Brent Mason controls - MV, MT, blender for middle pickup, and a Tele 3-way for Neck-Both-Bridge.
1 piece mahogany body
Maple neck with Ebony fretboard, 25.5" scale, huge frets, HUGE profile "USACG Fatback" profile - it's a telephone pole
* 25.5" scale length
* US-2 Reverse headstock
* Tele dimensioned heel
* Maple neck
* Ebony fretboard
* "Fat Back" contour, 1" the whole way
* 1 11/16" nut width
* 10" radius (a la PRS)
* Creme dots
* 6150 frets
Wilkinson Compensated 3-barrel Tele bridge
I have all the stuff to make it, just need to unpack it and finish.

Re: Your own signature guitar?
Wow, missed the original thread by *that* much:
Ordered in May 2005, received in November 2006:
This would be my sig model (since I designed it :lol: )
This was the Paint Shop mockup I sent with the order:
This is what they sent:
I'd say they got it right.

Re: Your own signature guitar?
So... To dispatch another kitten...
A copy of my '95 LP, which will be 20yrs old on Tuesday, and has this spec according to Gibson:
Admittedly, a few details would need changing to make it authentic, but hey, it was half its age when this thread started :smokin:

Re: Your own signature guitar?
I was a member 1 year after this thread started so I'm nearly as old here lol.
My signature guitar would be a jerry Donahue Tele bridge, single volume single tone, ashtray bridge (compensated saddles though). Swamp ash body, 1" maple/rosewood neck (slab fretboard), bone nut. Body would probably have to be thicker for the neck to balance - I've seen some ashtray/carved top bodies and wouldn't say no to a 13° neck pocket bolt on...
Signature amp would be a hiwatt dr103 or something... Just 100w, loud as all hell, punchy. Idk if I'd need pedals with a setup like that lol.
