So i was a little board.. this maybe should be in off topic so i descided i would ask what everyones idea for their custom guitar would be.. Im talking everything to give an example ill start with mine..

Sharp V Body shape ( Dave Mustaine Signature idea)- Custom Paint job designed after the "From Mars to Sirus" Album cover.. so a dark grey with planets on it sort of sketched in. Looks like a water colour almost. Whale on the back.
( this could also be a standard Schecter C1 Classic Body)

24 frets Jumbo. Ebony Fingerboard with Custom grey enlays to match the colour of the body. Either vines or Crosses or wings at just the 12

7 String guitar for sure ( Black Diamond strings (which means they are black )

Gold hardware

Single Volume Nob ( no other switches or nobs.. keep it simple.. always )

2 White Dragon Fire Humbuckers

Head stock designed after the Karl Sanders Custom V or Schecter c1 depending on body
Gold tuning Nobs ( colour not metal )

TonePros Locking Bridge(gold)

Body made of maple

thats pritty much it.. whats your custom?

I'm kinda simple.. my ideal custom guitar would have ca. the same specs as my SLSMG.
Two EMG's, super slim body, jumbo frets, strings-thru-body, and mahogny body, but with a finish of the cover of Zombi 2 (a movie), with the pickups/pickuprings part of the design aswell.

My custom guitar would almost be like the one I already have but with some other details, namely a Stratocaster:

Body: Alderbody
B,Color: Olympic White
Neck: Birdseyemaple with birdseyemaple fingerboard.
N. Finish: Clear Gloss
Neck details: 22 frets, 9,5 radius, standard thin neck, scalloped, Black Abalone inlay on the neck head with Sabbaths flying demon logo.

Hardware:
Graphtech
Schaller Locking Nuts
Fishman Powerbridge Modern, (Piezo)

Pickups:
Bridge: DiMarzio Chopper
Middle: DiMarzio Pro Track
Neck: DiMarzio Cruiser

That's my ideal guitar

Wow...my custom guitar would have: Mahogany body, top maple quilted, maple neck thru-body, ebony fretboard, with custom inlay at 12th fret. Two humbucker, piezo, and gotoh bridge. Similar to my EBMM JP, but more...mine!
