CUSTOM DREAMS

If you had one chance of getting a guitar and having it customized to your own preference, what would it be? This is pretty interesting because I have a lot of guitars in my head that I want mutilated. So, here’s my list:

  1. Fender Stratocaster – there might have been a custom superstrat like this one but still I wanted to do this. I wanted a wider one piece maple neck to cater seven strings and I want it to be 24 jumbo frets. I know, it would be huge. Then, instead of the traditional three single coils, I want 2 atomic humbuckers on the neck and the bridge and a single coil on the middle. I don’t want tone controls, I just wanted a single volume control on the top and a pick up selector, a solid one. Traditional bridge, and a chrome finish. Can you picture it out?
  2. Gibson Les Paul SG – I always wanted to do something evil with this guitar because it looks mean already. Well, I want a lighter body if possible, if not, that’s ok. Then I wanted EMG active pickups on it, two of it plus a single coil on the middle. I want a 24 fret neck and a Floyd rose bridge. How you like that?
