I'd say pink ;D
Body wood: all tonewoods are a little different but all great, I prefer light woods like alder, swampash and basswood.
Neckwood: Maple, prefers a slim Ibanez like neckprofile
(jem / Wizard).
Fretboard wood: Maple 24 frets (not many guitars with maple fretboards at the moment, most rosewood, so that will have to do.
Pickups: HSH (can live with HSS or HH on a few of my guitars) will proberbly be exchanged for DiMarzios: Air Norton, FS1 or HS2, Paf Pro.
Color: Pink or any other "Porn" color/graphics.
Model:Smallbodied Superstratstylesomethinglikethat or somethingverypointy
Bridge: Floyd Rose.

Here is mine:
First of all the guitar has to sound well acousticly w/o an amp.
body wood:KOA at front(very bright sound) and Mahogony in the back(a lot of low end)
neck wood: Pau ferro(Bolivian hard wood) forever sustain.
Frettboars wood:Pau ferro 22 Fretts sounds bettere than 24cuse nornally the neck pickup to close to the Frettboard make a bad sound.
pickups:HSH (Dimarzio tone zone, air norton
color:Red or white with art work
model:strat style
type of bridge Prefer Floyd Rose with a neck thr body

I dont have any specific specs, i have a wide range of sound in music which requires a wide range of guitars, anything i can play well on and sounds reasonable i buy, i have only ever sold on one guitar so my choices have been pretty good so far
peace

Yeah, but i had a floating floyd on my last guitar, and it was just too much hassle, tuning it and restringing it was such a mission, i just couldnt handle it. When i came across the floyd on the wolfy that isnt floating, i fell in love with it, its perfect for me.

When i came across the floyd on the wolfy that isnt floating, i fell in love with it, its perfect for me. Man all my guitars have Floyd rose double and i have them be rerouted so i can pull the whammy bar all the way up caouse i love to play harmonics and pull them and i don't go out of tune, yeah my guitars are Ibanez 1991 built i japan, i love them, but if you can deal with that is ok |

what will be the requirements for you when choosing a guitar ? body wood: neck wood: Frettboars wood: pickups: color: model: type of bridge: Variety is the key for me. I own 8 guitars and they're all different body and neck woods,p/u's, bridges, etc... The only thing I can honestly say I prefer is an ebony fretboard. |

Ebony is super good and very hard wood but the day you can have a guitar with PAO FERRU BRAZILIAN WOOD as the frettboard then you don't want to know about others wood for the frettboard |
