Just curious. If you were to have a super strat type guitar made to your specs what would it be. Woods, hardware, pickups, color, etc...

Most of mine are superstrats now...Ibanez,Fender,Charvel Jackson etc.
I like alder bodies (and mahogany)
maple neck 22 or 24 frets
rosewood fretboard scalloped
floyd
59 / PAF Pro / Jazz neck
JB/Tone Zone/Paralell axis Distortion Some of my favorite bridge pickups

Been thinking that for several months now as I am wanting one last guitar so I will be contacting Curt at Squid Music to start laying out the custom shop Charvel, my bucket list guitar.
"Chubtone" correct Dinky body.
NOS brass
Quartersawn maple neck with black markers
1984 floyd rose
"Gainfreak" control layout which just pushed the volume further from the bridge pup.
5 way pup selector
H/S/S
12-16 radius
I just do nhot know about the wood yet, I want a chlorine burst really bad but not sure I want foo foo wood on top. Robin's egg with cream pups has also been a favorite so I would probably go alder.

My ideal super strat build is a reality:
Rosewood is my ideal neck wood, so if has that, we're 75% of the way to ideal already.
I have a more true to real strat super as well:
Only thing I want to mod from standard on this guitar is to swap bridges with the one that comes on American Deluxe models (pop in trem arm). Don't understand why the JB Strat comes with a thread in bar!

Nothing comes close to these guys IMO:
Body wood is lightweight mahogany, fretboard is Pau Ferro, Anderson pickups (H2+ and a proprietary single coil), and original Floyd. The guitar was designed to counter the tone-neutering effects of a Floyd...its the only guitar I've encountered where adding a brass big block offered no real benefits.

I'm all about mahogany bodies with maple caps and binding, has to have the fender strat headstock (sorry Suhr, Anderson and GMW guys). Fat 50's Gibby neck profiles with SS frets.
I already have a couple close to it.
bought the GMW
built these
that purple one has faded a bunch since this photo. Since its not a nice figured maple top I think I may wither gold top it or sonic blue top and leave the sides and back natural mahogany like it currently is.

I like my two -
Anderson -
Basswood/Maple body
Maple/Rosewood neck
Trem w/Piezo saddles
SA1/SA1R/H2+ pups
The partscaster -
Alder body, that I tru-oiled.
Birdy neck (she's a fatty at 0.95" at the 12th fret), she's also basically naked with a couple layers of oil
Flush mounted floyd
Aldrich bridge, SSV (I think) neck with custom wiring that I designed:
Mini toggle - up is bridge series only with no tone knob, down goes to 5-way selector
1 - Neck hum
2 - Neck split
3 - Inside coils parallel
4 - Inside coils series
5 - Outside coils parallel
