What would it look like? Not sure if there has been a post on this, but if there has, feel free to delete this one.

Mine would be:

Made in America
Construction/Scale: Set-neck(is this what most Fenders are?)/25.5"
Body: Alder, flamed maple top (quilted might be too flashy)
Neck/Fingerboard: 3-piece maple neck/maple or pau ferro fingerboard
Headstock: 50's style, Fender logo in Abalone or pearl
Finish: 3-tone sunburst (with flamed maple top), pearloid pickguard
Tuners: Gold Plated Fender Gotoh® Vintage Style Tuning Machines
Nut: Bone, 42mm
Inlays: Pearl or abalone Vine of Life would be SUPER SEXY! Refer to Schecter's C-1 Classic to see what I am talking about, my signature in matching pearl or abalone on 12th fret
Binding: None
Bridge: Gold Plated American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo
Pickups: Lace Sensor (Bridge-mid-neck): Gold, Silver, Red (no idea what I'm talking about) or Lace Chrome Domes/Seymour Duncan Lipstick Tubes. Fender SCN's or Vintage Noiseless' would also be really nice.
Hardware: Gold
Controls: Volume/Tone/Tone, 5-way switch, and that mod that was posted, of lead to solo volume
Frets: 22 Jumbo?

Played through:
Matchless Chieftain CH-40 Head or Mesa Road King Series II head
Mesa Road King 4x12" Slant Cabinet
And countless effect pedals

or

Marshall JVM Series JVM410H Tube Amp Head
Marshall Vintage Modern 425B 4x12" Extension Speaker Cabinet
and again, countless effect pedals

Your turn!
