What would your custom guitar be?

I'd thought I'd better post a new thread on here in case this sub-forum dies or something...

If you had the money to have built, a custom made / bespoke guitar - What would it be like?

Would it be an electric, classical or acoustic? What wood would each part be made out of? and what about the other component? What body design and colours would you have?

I would love to have a custom made electric guitar for heavy metal - left-handed of-course, perhaps based on a BC Rich "Beast" http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:...RIE+BRONZE.JPG

body shape, but I'm not sure about what colour or art design to have, but then I really like some of the recent Dean V shape and Razorback guitars

I'd get me Uncle to build me one :D, a small bodied, but mellow sounding acoustic, probably in Rosewood, ebony fingerboard, maple top.

Already own one of his guitars and it's lovely (an electric)!

Id love Ernie Ball/Music Man to build me a Les Paul Goldtop with all the same pickups as a JP6 with a piezo bridge. The body will be slightly contoured on the back to be a bit more comfortable. Ooh and the Goldtop will be ever so slightly more orange than gold. No pickguard. Same woods as the EBMM JP BFR.
