Mine would be a direct copy of a '62-'65 L series Strat-preferably sunburst but I'd settle for Sonic Blue with a matching headstock.

It'd basically be a Travis Bean TB-1000S in Seafoam Green, with those smooth, huge black knobs EHX uses on their pedals as the volume and tone controls.

oh... so fun!
mine would be a Teisco Del Ray with TV Jones pickups and a bigsby tremelo. It would come in Hot Rod Orange or Seafoam teal with offset black racing stripes. The hardware would be chrome. It would come in a custom white hard case with bright orange fur interior.

Mosrite Mk I solidbody with Moseley Vibramute tailpiece in sunburst

or

Mosrite Combo Mk I in sunburst

In this opinion, two of the hottest, sexiest most playable guitars in history.
