Well I'd have a bunch... but I could only have one I'd take a Jackson Rhoads.

25.5" scale length.
24 extra jumbo frets
Mahagony body and mahagony neck
Neck Through.
No inlays (dots on the side of the neck though)
Ebony Fret Board
Black w/ red ghost flames.
Black pick guard.
Floyd Rose Original Tremolo
White neck and headstock binding.
EMG 81 at the bridge, Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro HB at the neck.
2 Volume, 2 tone (one push/pull for the duncan to coil tap). 3-way gibson style selector on the top of the body. Also the EMG impedance matching circuit to allow the duncan and EMG to work together.
Piezo pickup for acoustic tones and its own seperate volume and tone controls w/ an on/off swtich for it.
Two outputs (piezo out and pickups out).
Jim Dunlop Strap Loks.
My name on the Truss Cover
Black hardware.

Might I suggest using and Ernie Ball XL strap. I'm about 6ft2 and I can get it swingin below my pelvis. I don't play it there tho.

Ill have to check it out on my next visit to the good ol' Guitar Center over in Lynnwood. My current strap just aint cuttin' it for me. Thanks smfulla, for the advice!

Well, I dont know enough about the electronics or mechanics to choose all the specs, but one thing I'd definately have would be some custom artwork maybe a bit of Jackson Pollock or David Hockney.

But it would have to be a Strat style body and headstock, cause the Strat is just a work of art. It should be in a gallery.:)

well.... if I had to pick one.... It would be the Jackson rr1

I'd leave everything standard for the model, exept for the tremolo I would want a steinberger transtrem fitted on it somehow.

i'd be quite happy with the standard Fender Jaguar, as close to guitar perfection as is possible.
