If you could design your own personal signature model, electric, acoustic, or both, describe it.
It can be modifications of one that's already made (maybe a gothic acoustic or something) or can be completely new.
Pick any wood of your choice, money or rarity isn't a problem. (There's all the KOA you'll need to make all the guitars.)
Pick any color.
Basically, make the guitar just like you want to. Do try not to say "they already make it, it's called the d-35" or whatever. At least make some changes.
Ok, GO!

this is very true MBS! i'll have to make these guys invent some sort of new strap system on it to distribute the weight differently so it's not so heavy. just gives those makers something else to do.
Leave that to me! I'm becoming an engineer!

i would go to Fodera or Conklin and get them to make me a double neck electric bass with bartoli pickups one neck be a 5-string fretless and the over a 4 string fretted, with the fretted on top. probably make it out of exotic woods (bubinga, wedge, stuff like that) built in EQ sytem...the works...
Think how heavy that would be.

Yeah, someone get to work on my guitar. I'd like to add about a six inch crescent and star somewhere else...mayby down on the bottom of the guitar. I think that would be cool.
Now, someone go make it.

I guess I'd probably have to go with what I mentioned in the first post. Since I'm not all that swell on the guitar yet, and since I'm not familiar with all the stuff about them, I mostly look for the asthetic things.
So I would have an acoustic guitar, probably a Martin or Taylor. It would be a very very soft matte finish (NOT high gloss). Everything on it would be black (even moreso than on the regular gothics. I would have the crescent moon and star on the 12th, and the man's pic on the back of the head.
Someone else can imagine and write what kinds of wood and fretboard I'd need. I don't know. But it would be dark.
Man, I think I want that guitar. NOW. Someone make me one.

Why would your guitar have a picture of the guitar on it?

Here we go:
I'd have a vintage Les Paul custom, wine red with white pick guard, with gold leaf lettering that reads, name of my band, on the pick guard.
My name, inlaid in beautiful pearlish calligraphy at the 12th fret.
Gold tuners, with a picture of the guitar on the back of the headstock. Inlays on the fretboard of vines and leaves, going all the way over the 21 fret rosewood fretboard. 2 Vintage pickups in the mahogany body, wired so I can change them from humbuckers to single-coils with the flick of a switch. Standard hardware, all golden. A thin fast neck, compounded radius, and set tight as hell into the body for maximum sustain. Elixirs on it, lights .09-.42
That's it. my 100th post.

I once saw a movie where this bus had to keep its SPEED above 50 and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode...I think it was called, the bus that couldn't slow down. |

I'd have to say I'd want Taylor to make me a PS14c with the only change being the addition of a Fishman prefix onboard blender. It's essentially the most beautiful piece of musical equipment in existence... Brazilian rosewood back/sides, Engelmann spruce top. Unbelievable inlays and attention to detail. Someday it will be mine... oh yes, it will be mine.
