My ultimate guitar is the one that feels the best and inspires me to play more. That being said mine is similar to yours as an Ibanez 540 S. Double cut strat style body, ultra thin and light, ssh pickup configuration, thin neck and FR style trem. What I like most is the super thin body and the neck and string spacing. I have a few guitars, strats, a LP and the Ibanez. I like all of them but the Ibanez gets the most play.
hey paul.awsome video. I subscribed.sorry about this but im still thinking about your simple analog synth circuit video I loved were u mod the fuzz face but i cant find a 2nd video. can I add the 50k pot to the capacitor on a premade pcb??
That guitar of yours has many cool features. Nice! I like HSH strat sort of shape with coil splits on the humbuckers... Split operated by swithces, not push/pull pots. Also I like to control the volume of all my pickups and a common tone. 2-point floating classic tremolo with heavy steel bar. No locked nut. I prefer arched top solid body, but with rounded body shape. Haven't been able to built this guitar yet, but something with similar elements I've tried to build. I also like neck through guitars more than bolt on necks, but with arched top, that's kind of difficult to build. Maybe after few years of trial and error, I'll get closer to my dream guitar.
My ultimate guitar would look something like this. I'm not too hung up on brand names but here are the sorts of tones and feels that work for me. Basically Strattish - Strat shape body, 3 single-coil-sized pickup positions, 5 way switch, 3 knobs. 22 fret 25.5"-scale neck. I like a chunky (say 210mm thick at the nut) C shape neck with a modern nut width (43mm) and flat fingerboard (say 430mm radius). I don't mind a standard square neck heel but wouldn't say no to a contoured Deluxe-style heel. Dunlop 6100-size fretwire in stainless steel. Clear gloss poly on back and fingerboard. Floyd-style locking nut and the bridge mounted flat on the body (non-floating). I like the strings reasonably far apart (about 57mm from E to E). I like the feel of the shorter string length for bending when there's a locking nut and the whammy stability is almost a side bonus. I like bright reasonably low-output (6kohms or less) traditional style single-coil pickups in neck and middle, and I like the option of a single-coil-sized humbucker bridge pickup with series/split/parallel options for versatility. Master volume, master tone, switching options on the third knob. That's it.

+Sammy's Guitars and Guitar Songs Interesting concept. I don't mind neck through construction.
