If you could customize your guitar with any of the cool looks, hardware, and electronics, what would it look like?

Mine would definately be a telecaster.

Finish: Aged Cherry Sunburst
Pickguard: White Pearl
Bridge/Tailpiece: B-5 Bigsby Logo Vibrato Unit
Knobs: Nickel w/ Push Pull for S-1 Switching System
Switch Cap: Telecaster Original
Pickups: Fender Samarium Cobalt Noiseless
Strap Buttons: Schaller Locking
Input Jack: Electrosocket Jack Mount/Switcraft Jack
Fingerboard: Maple
Inlays: Pearl Dot
Tuners: Fender Schaller Locking Tuners Vintage Style

Guitar: American Deluxe Tele
Finish: Black
Pickguard: Checkerboard
Bridge/Tailpiece: Vintage style
Knobs: Black w/ S-1
Switch Cap: stock one
Pickups: Fender SCN
Strap Buttons: Some black locking ones
Input Jack: stock one
Fingerboard: Maple
Inlays: Black Dot
Tuners: Schaller Locking Vintage Style

and it would all be played through the Super Sonic half-stack, with a sound similar to that of Oreskaband's guitarist's guitar

Basically all this comes down to is what colour people like their American Deluxe Tele's in

Mines Aged Cherry Sunburst

An American Vintage Jazzmaster in Candy Apple Red with a pearloid pickguard, block inlays on the fretboard, medium jumbo frets instead of the vintage, oh yeah, and a buzz-free Mustang bridge !!!

I like to keep things simple. I would actually, leave my tele just the same. I just love it. It is a FSR. It has a natural finish. It is beautiful. I love it.

I have, and I now have my ultimate guitar - 98 MIA strat, paint stripped and vintage wood finish, JB Jr/Silver Lace/Blue Lace set up with custom splitter wiring, Sperzel tuners, blocked trem, and very well broken in from hundreds of gigs and countless hours of playing since I bought it.

I can afford pretty much any guitar and custom scenario I want - within reason. My first choice for life - custom strat. And I have my dream guitar now.

Probably a Stratocaster, but I'd do something nasty with it, like put 5 pickups, all ranging from 5K in the neck, to 8K or so in the bridge. I'd also like a custom switch to allow 3 to be selected at one time. Sounds insane, but I'd kind of like it.

Also, no HBs. I'm not a fan of them in Stratocasters.
