Lunch here... Doing some wood research and had a random attack of GAS for non-existent gear and thought I'd share.
Mine would be the following:
Style: Neck-thru (reinforced neck with spoke-wheel truss rod)
Body: Ergonomically designed (lighter/thinner, and comfortable to sit or stand)
Body Wood: Spanish Cedar Core, Wenge layer, Cocobolo Heart & Sap Top
Neck: Headless, compound profile (rounder near the head, flatter near the heel)
Neck Wood: 7-piece (Flame Maple, Purpleheart, Wenge, Quilted Maple)
Fingerboard: 25.5"-26" scale (7th fret center), 24 stainless steel frets + Zero Fret
Fingerboard Wood: Cocobolo Heart & Sap
Pickups: H-S-S (fat medium output humbucker, noiseless singles)
Controls: 5-way, Volume (treble bleed and PP coil split HB), Tone (PP high-pass)
If you had the funds to get a top luthier to build you your dream guitar (or just a guitar you think would be cool), what would it be? I don't mean something that already exists on the shelves (or in the past), something new. Could be based on a classic design, I suppose.
