My dream guitar

Body Color: Candy Apple Red
Pickguard Color: Black
Body type: Stratocaster
Pickup configuration: HSS
Pickup Types: Fat 50's pups, Seymour Duncan HB-102 Humbucker
Pickup covers color: Black
Fretboard material: Rosewood
Bridge Type: Vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge
String gauge: 9/42
Neck wood: Maple
Neck form: C-shaped
Body wood: Basswood
Which era your guitar is modeled after: 70's
Type of tuners: Really nice ones that don't get out of tune often(Don't know a name for that either)
Basic Description: This Stratocaster is basically your average Fender guitar. It's a mix between my Squier Vintage Modified Stratocaster and the Fender Special Edition Stratocaster HSS. I kept my HB-112 Seymour Duncan Humbucker from my Squier in there, because it just sounds really good, even for a Squier. Someday when I round up 500$, I'll probably just go ahead and buy the Fender Special edition HSS Strat. It's a Guitar Center Exclusive, and that's basically my dream guitar.

I'd go for a Merle Haggard Tele but altered to being a Nashville style and without the TuffDog logo and Merle's signature.
I believe it would require a more conventional looking guard to facilitate the middle pup.
I'm not sure if it would be white.
Tortoise shell also looks good with a burst finish.
I'm just not sure if the tortoise shell would be too much bling with all that curly maple.
Think I'd also add a belly cut.

Fretboard material: Figured maple

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I'd be happy with something like this: Image

I'd change the pick guard to a tortoise shell, but that's pretty much it. Maybe a different finish, but I like the matching head stock finish and those block inlays.

I'd will have to go with the USA geddy Lee Jazz, as my Fender dream bass. There's a USA Geddy Lee Jazz in route, that should be in on Thursday, August 24th. Image
