Bit of an offshoot from the ohyeahfuzzbear's thread. But that seems to be more geared towards guitars in production.
So:
If you had a signature guitar, what would it be? Specs n' all.

2 angled Jaguar pickups and Jaguar controls(sans rhythm circuit)
25.5" scale, bound neck with dot inlays and big CBS headstock or the Maverick/Electric XII headstock

Signature guitars are always uglier than their mass produced counterparts.
That said I would want a rickenbacker 330 with a thinner neck and pickups wound to sound as close to old hagstrom pickups as possible.

I didn't reply last time 'cause I felt there could be nothing seriously "me" about anything, but I've since digressed. As mentioned before in the thread that turned off Robroe off of Ric-12s (with much
aplomb), the nut and headstock on my Ric 360-12 are the two things that always make it a battle every time I plug the thing in. Just for fun, I'd do a 360-12 as such:
- Toasters
- Thru-headstock tuners (rather than recessed)
- 1 5/8" nut
- Jet glo (in a thin ULTRAGLO nitrocellulose finish w/parchment plastic)
No need for a pic, but it would be close to this plus another six strings.

Word about Rickenbacker 12's.....no idea why such an awesome guitar has such a stupid headstock/tuner system. Both Danelectro and Italia got it right, why not Rickenbacker? I'll stick to my DC-12 until your "signature guitar" gets mass produced.

Depends what music I end up getting famous with. For bluesey sort of stuff I couldn't have a sig, I don't think it'd be necessary.
For metal or something else heavy, it'd be a black, mahogany Squier Jagmaster with BKP WarPigs, a Floyd Rose, Jaguar control plates, reverse matching headstock and a black and silver paisley pickguard. Oh, it'd have matte black comp stripes too.
There'd also be a seven string version.

Or possibly something like this thing I drew at work a few minutes ago instead:
► Show Spoiler
Guild S100/Mosrite/SX SJM-62 inspired body.
25.5" scale, 22 fret neck with Guild style headstock and binding. Undecided on inlays, but likely blocks.
Jaguar trem, Mustang bridge.
AVRI Jaguar pickups and switching with no rhythm circuit.
Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.
White witch hats.
Sherwood Green with either tort or mint pickguard. Headstock matching or black.
I kinda want to build it.

i built my dream guitar a few years ago, it was a tele with 2 p90's a jag trem, maple neck, large headstock, maple board, 7.25 radius board, vintage frets. with a bulky neck.
now, i want a 24 scale, tele nut width super thing body, p-90s, and just a volume knob(no load style) im not really sure about body shape or anything, and i deffinitly need a jag style trem.
