You know you all have them! I happen to have a couple, and if i had these guitars, or even one of them, I would never need another guitar again...

TWEAKS CUSTOM SG
Here is my design from head to toe...
Gibson Custom LP headstock
All nickel hardware and Grover locking tuners
bound neck with trapezoid MOP inlays
set(special neck joint, flush with body, almost looking like a neck-thru)) with a long tenon, 1 piece mahogany neck(glossy white back, with grain) and ebony fretboard (22 frets, standard Dunlop medium jumbo fret material)
SG style body with 2 pickups(Seymour Duncan= soapbar vintage p 90 in the neck, and a custom soapbar p 90 in the bridge, black covers)
Electronics- 3 way toggle switch pickup selector(switchcraft), 2 volume, 2 tone(with cool pointer washers under them, standard sg top hat knobs with top crome inlays) standard position and jack is on the side instead.
No body bindings, has a white AAA flame maple top, 1 piece mahogany back that is slightly thicker(glossy white with grain)
It is finished with very thin Polyurethane for durability
Schaller strap locks(strap buttons in standard position)
Tones Pros locking bridge with string through body tailpeice
Graphtec nut
no pickgaurd, and black back plate, all black plastic hardware

Now for the semi-hollow V...
TWEAKS CUSTOM V
Gibson "custom V" headstock
grover locking tuners, all nickel hardware
set(same as SG), 1 piece mahogany neck, bound(white) ebony fretboard(22 frets, standard dunlop medium jumbo fret material), glossy white back(grain showing), trapezoid MOP inlays

Electronics- 3 way toggle switch(switchcraft), 2 volume(coil split for each pickup on each volume), 1 tone, Gibson 500 k pots, high quality capacitors, all black plastic hardware(pickup rings
It is 58 V style body, with LP custom bindings on top(white single bidings on back), all 58 cosmetics, with a AAA flame (white) maple top, plain hard maple sides, and back, and African mahogany center block
polyurethane finish, again for durability
Tone Pros bridge(v tailpiece)

I REALLY want a Gretsch 6119, Brian Setzer ...standard,model...doesn't matter.
Use to have an old Chet Atkins tennessean I traded an old alvarez 12 string for it. Ended up selling it when I bought an old "The Paul" when they came out. Sold it for $250. I actually came out on top with my previous trade. I had no idea at that time what it was actually worth. Always loved playing that guitar though. Had a unique sound and played wonderfully. Great feel.

Well since I am pretty happy with my Les Paul, I will say thats the one- I would like a 'Lucille' just to have another toy to play with

You've obviously been doing some serious thinking about it, now you just need to become famous so that Gibson can make you a signature model

I'd take a PRS McCarty Hollowbody in whale blue and a Gibson Les Paul Class 5 in a sunburst color (with a push/pull pot for series/parallel, burstbucker pickups). Straplocks on both, no pickguard on either... Now where and I going to get $7000 dollars ?

[hcoll]

...I'm easy....

...an Epi Elitist '65 Casino in vintage sunburst with a factory installed Bigsby...just like Paul and George had....

...or...'signature models'...the Sir Paul model would be the vintage sunburst with a short headstock....while the George Harrison model would be the stripped-finish version...both would have a bigsby....

...or...how about the 'Shea Stadium Package'...a sunburst Casino...equipped with both a trapeze and a bigsby that have the same style end plate...so the screw holes match up...hey...it's my daydream....

...this is how I control G.A.S. since Epi don't make 'em this way...I don't think Yoko would like it either...bruhahahahaha...another reason for making them....

a 1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom Tri-Burst!

whhoo hooo!!!

;D

[Steelpriest]

My dream guitar? A nice Gibson Les Paul Gold Top with creme open coil humbuckers (DiMarzio Super Distortion and DiMarzio PAF), creme pickguard, creme pickup rings and creme rhythm/trebe plate, golden top hat knobs, aged greenish Schaller Kluson-style tuners... Yumm! ...and of course Schaller Security Locks!

[twsk8r]

I guess this post went a little off of what i ment it to be...lol
I guess it would be better to say, if you could customize your own guitar, what would it be like?
Try that guys!

[samicksg]

If I could get a custom guitar? I'd make it a fender telecaster EXACTLY like Keith Richards' tele, with the big ol humbucker in the neck ;D

[Uriah]

My dream guitar would be completely hand made by me.

Mahogany wood... two great humbuckers, double cutaway body design, custom pickguard....

[exyearrboy]

Okay, I was going to say '59 Les Paul Standard with the figured maple top in cherry sunburst and original PAF's... but since you changed the category on me, I'll have to go with something like a Gibby LP Studio in Wine Red for the good wood and hardware, switch out hte Pickups for Burstbucker 2 and 3's and I think I'll be happy.
Or,
An LP style body with P-90's, Black, with the cheesy looking green Kluston tuners.

Well,.......

For many years I dreamt of owning an electric guitar, and for me the only one to have was a Les Paul.

I finally decided to purchase one,....(my dream come true),....and I purchased my Les Paul.

Yep,...its my Epiphone Les Paul Standard / Ebony.

She is everything I wanted her to be, the right feel,....sound,....playability,...looks,.....my dream come true.

Yes,...now that I am hooked on guitars, (I got da G.A.S.),.... I will probably add other guitars in the future, but nothing. nor any other guitar will ever take the place of my "first" Epi-LP,...my dream come true.

(yeah,...I'm a sentimental ol' fart)

LOL
