So i was thinking about making a random new guitar designs thread, maybe as a build ideas thread for the people with the balls and the equipment to do such things.
And that is what i came up with. Skate/Surfcaster body with the ugly top horn fixed, hotrails/JM pickup combo. No guard, maple bound neck, reverse headstock, control plate for easy maintenance.

I have an idea for Jazzmaster / Firebird hybrid. From the jazzmaster, I would use the body, the trem and only keep the routes on the side of the body for the toggle switch and tone/volume controls. It would have a side input jack. For the neck, it would have a reverse jazzmaster neck (left jazzmaster neck?). The body would be routed for 3 firebird pickups. The wiring would be a typical strat with a master volume, master tone and blend knob (to allow for neck +bridge pickup options. As for pickguard, it would be a split pickgaurd like this:

aleady made it (addaminsane did all the heavy lifting, i just put it together). it's my number one guitar

strat pickups and scale length
jazzy trem
bronco body and guard
flat and shallow ibanez shred neck with reverse headstock
hagstrom-esque colour scheme

only difference is it now has white witch hats on it

would like to try a 12 string version with jazzmaster pickups at some point maybe

I'd like a 24 fret SG, blocked neck, vintage sunburst or two tone fireburst finish, but not painted black on the back and neck like Gibson usually does, instead I'd like it natural wood on the back and neck like a Firebird. Three pickups either three mini-humbuckers or two mini's and one PAF at the bridge. White batwing pickguard. The usual control setup with maybe a push-pull knob for coil splitting.

Mustang with 1 piece maple neck 1 piece walnut body.
Walnut plug and skunk stripe cut from same walnut as body.
Glossy clear coat on it all.
Black pickguard and pickup covers.

Unfortunately my tastes are limited to vintage stock stuff. A sig model for me at this point would probably be a vintage correct jazzmaster or a silvertone 1448.
The only "daring" mod on my jazzmaster is a mastery bridge. I'm boring.

George's bratocaster is tight though.

Edit: actually now that I think of it a silvertone 1448 with a bridge pickup would be so sweet. Not like a 1449 though, needs to keep that short scale and small neck.

Jaguar neck scale and body shape, with a Jazzmaster neck pickup and Telecaster bridge pickup and ashtray.

Jag/JM vibrato with Staytrem bridge.

Vintage-style frets, radius and tuners.

One volume pot (500k), 3-way toggle, strangle switch and series/parallel switch. No rhythm circuit.

HEAVEN

Someone build me this please.
