Fantasy Signature Guitar

I got this from IHeartGuitarBlog who got it from the Seymour Duncan User Group Forum

Here are a set of questions to answer about your own fantasy signature guitar...

Q1: Which company called you?
Q2: Which standard model in their product lineup do you base your sig off of?
Q3: What specs do you insist upon that make it uniquely yours?
Q4: What other customizations do you make to the guitar?
Q5: What special piece of “case candy” goes with it as a collector’s item?

Right here goes...

Q1: Which company called you?
Fender

Q2: Which standard model in their product lineup do you base your sig off of?
Strat.

Q3: What specs do you insist upon that make it uniquely yours?
Ash body, rosewood fingerboard 12" radius, large 70s style headstock but four bolt neck joint. Non trem! Twin humbuckers, with tone and vol each and coil taps on the tone controls.

Q4: What other customizations do you make to the guitar?
Locking machine heads - not really needed but make string changing quicker in a live environment.
Schaller locking guitar straps buttons.

Q5: What special piece of “case candy” goes with it as a collector’s item?
Ernie Ball strap - the cheap one!  Just like Jimmy Page uses for his hugely valuable guitars!!!

For those of you who know me... this sounds like my Nunostrat... my home built twin humbucker Strat.




Alternatively ...

Q1: Which company called you?
PRS

Q2: Which standard model in their product lineup do you base your sig off of?
The discontinued CE22

Q3: What specs do you insist upon that make it uniquely yours?
As original spec when made but the pickup selector whilst still the knob only has 3 settings as I only use three!! Bridge pickup, Outside coils in Parallel and neck pickup.

Q4: What other customizations do you make to the guitar?
Schaller guitar strap locks

Q5: What special piece of “case candy” goes with it as a collector’s item?
Cheap Ernie Ball strap with strap locks fitted.


I've included this one as frankly it is really frustrating that PRS discontinued the CE range some years ago - I love it!

    Beautiful pieces but you might just as well be speaking in Farsi for all I understand. I thought Machine Head was a Deep Purple album?

      We should start a fantasy signature double glazing range.

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious.

Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
