Find someone who makes custom guitars and give them money to make you a guitar.

Although I guess you know that already--ask around for recommendations at any place musicians gather (Which I guess you might be doing here.)

Sorry I don't have anyone to recommend.

If you mean a Fender Custom Shop, there is an order form
with a bazillion options

I'll try to find it, scan it for you

Or you local dealer should have one
if he does custom orders, not all do

you can spec the living daylights out of your guitar

turnaround time can be a bit of an issue if you're not patient

What would that cost? (I'm curious too)

below is a breakdown I did "prior" to the latest price increase
This is for "team" built

Basically you would start with a model that is closest to what you are looking for, and make mods from there

as an example, and off the shelf NOS 60 strat is $3150
closet classic add $326 - relic add $494

Now for Teambuilt, there is a "one time upcharge" that you will pay, and below, between the --- lines, are all of the things you can alter that are "included" in this upcharge of $650

------
And color you want, about 100 to choose from
choice of finish - poly or nitro
neck shape options - C, V, 10/56 - about 30 to choose from
Nut Type - bone, graphite, brass...
Fretboard Radius
Fret Markers - clay, white, pearl, black
Fret wire - vintage, 6105, medium jumbo........
Fretboard wood - maple or rosewood
Pickups - any Fender Standard Custom Shop Pups
-------
everything between the dashed lines above is included in the $650

Below are "in addition" to the $650 "one time upcharge"

A flame, or birdseye $157
AA flame or birdseye $237
Ebony fretboard $100
Dark Rosewood $100
LSR Roller Nut $43
Wilkinson Nut $200

Ash Body $165
Light Weight Body $110
Gold Hardware $264
