Indy's Ultimate guitar

[indysmith]

I always thought it was pretty much impossible that any manufacturer built a guitar just for me, but if I could have a guitar built to my exact specs, this would be it:

One day I will own this guitar.

All I've got to do now is choose what woods I want it to be made from. (and raise a lot of money!)


Anyone else found their perfect ideal guitar, not from a custom manufacturer?

[Twinfan]

Yep!  Korina solid body, double cutaway, twin humbuckers, wrapover bridge?

That'll be my PRS McCarty Korinas  :D

Yes & it's almost entirely down to BKP :)

My perfect ideal guitar is either a Jackson KV2 or an RR1

OK, I guess Jackson are known as a custom manufacturer but these are "standard" spec models.  Yes, I can choose two guitars because if I was forced to own only one guitar, I'd be equally happy with either model.

Why/how is it BKP's fault?  I always preferred mahogany instruments until the Holy Diver brought me back to alder/maple.  It's the perfect marriage for me  :)

If you want something that's half way between a Tele and a Les Paul with a Bigsby, get a Gretsch Duo Jet. And because they're hollow, they won't give you a hernia either.

This be it for me...  :D

I think Dennis Fanos guitars are excellent looking, but I wish he was doing some of the models he was producing a couple of years ago

I fell in love with the Tonestar model http://www.rockitoldschool.com/indexinst.html though I apologise that it shows a member of Barenaked Ladies

As I said before

TWO of everything
Twinfan is the NOAH of guitars

I'm not sure if I've ever seen my ultimate guitar as such, but this is my favourite from the Fano site - and there's very little I'd want to change about it. :)

It reminds me of one of those First Act models - but presumably much higher spec'd.

Oooh I must have overlooked that Pelham Blue one! ^

That's a very close 2nd to the white one above. They are gorgeous looking guitars.

Personally i think they are fugly :lol:

Personally i think they are fugly :lol:

That was exactly my first reaction :lol:
But then as more and more got posted, they started to grow on me, and I realised it was because they are slightly, well, "ugly"

That's the point. If you want a "beautiful" guitar buy a quilt-top high gloss PRS and look like a massive knob :P
