Welcome to Gaia! ::

i was playing around on the build your own les paul on the gibson website, and it got me thinking.

who would you go to, or where would you go to get a custom guitar made for you?
would you make it yourself?
what style would it be, would you have a new design made?
what colour?
what pickups?
have you had designs made?

if you have, lets see 'em.

lets say that you can afford pretty much anything, but remember, its not how much it costs, its what suits you.

added discussion: do you see the point in buying a celebrity sig guitar? for example, would you buy slash's les paul?

i would go with a 'flying v' body in flame top, trans blue. with bare knuckle miricle man in the neck position, and a bare knuckle warpig in the bridge position. i'd have a string thru fixed bridge and nickel hardware. 24 frets, and trapezium inlays

i'd build my own
it'd be a strat design
it'd be dark red
it'd have one Jeff Beck Humbuckers screwed directly into the wood of the guitar

a gibson les pauls body with a neck with 26 frets....doubled neck.....one neck a bass and one a electric guitar 3nodding whammy bar and its gonna be red burst

LINK! LINK! LINK! biggrin

that would be an esp custom,
Mahongany Body with maple top
Mahogany Neck Thru
String Thru body bridge
EMG 81 (b) EMG 60a (n)
Custom ESP tribal inlay
In an ESP RS shape
that would bit it i gues biggrin razz

Mahogany Body.
Modded classic t style.
Maple neck with rosewood fretboard.
25.5" scale.
modded tele headstock.
Kent Armstrong motherbucker in the bridge, Seymour duncan P90 or Phat cat in neck.
Chrome, mirror (normal or cracked), aluminium cladded, satin black or colour washed if grain it good.

Chrome Hardware with maybe a floyd rose but most likely a tune o matic (depends on finish).

all i need to do is thin the wood for my guitar then it's underway.

-a modded V shape i came up with, built be me.
-Kahler trem
-6 and 7 string versions
-not sure what pickups...ive been wanting to try a X2N, Invader, Livewires(the metal set) jb/jazz set. i have EMGs in on guitar already so i dont need more
-25.5 scale
-Neal Mosers dual boost and treble boost set up(like on the 80s BC Rich Biches, but without the varitone circuit...the new ones arent the real deal since he left)
-my own headstock design
-red or metallic black
-custom graphics
-maple body and neck
-ebony fretboard
-Jackson shark inlays, MOP
-neck and headstock binding, white
-bevels on the body and headstock

I should probably change my ideal custom.
