If money was not an issue and if you could have the best guitar luthiers around the world make you one signature guitar. What spec would it be?

Body wood:
Neck wood: Fingerboard wood:
Pickups:
Finish/color:
other details?
 
Hmm...

Body Wood - Mahogany w/ Maple Top
Neck Wood - Mahogany w/Ebony Board w/ binding
Body Style - ESP Horizon
Pups - Neck Single, Bridge HB
Finish - Grayish transparent flame/ no binding on the body

Various - Neck Through 24 fret w/PRS radius, Reverse headstock (fender/ESP style) with locking tuners - non angled headstock, Non locking Floyd Rose, One Volume, One Tone/ Push/Pull to split the HB, 3 way switch.
 
It would basically be a clone of my '89 Hamer USA Californian:

Honduran mahogany body

3 piece stressed maple neck with brazillian rosewood board

SS frets

H/S pickup config

tremolo

When I got my custom headless guitar made I basically used those same specs (except I went with a roasted maple neck and ebony board) and the guitar came out exactly like I wanted. Now it's like I own two Calis and one of them is really crazy looking :LOL:
 
Mine would be a Kinda Clone of a Gibson Les Paul Standard I have, except it would only have 1 Hum & 1 Volume but would still have the switch for looks. and i might choose a different color that i've never owned before.
 
I don't need a luthier to make me a signature guitar, I'd make it myself.... which I already have done several times. I have a bunch that I made, but these are the 4 that are my favorites.

Body: Lyptus, Poplar
Neck: Maple/Rosewood
Pickups: SD JB / '59 (has chrome covered ones now)
Finish: Natural; matte tru-oil

Body: Figured Bubinga, Figured Maple, Walunt
Neck: Maple/Rosewood
Pickups: Bridge - SD Custom Custom, Neck - SD Screamin' Demon
Finish: Natural; matte tru-oil

Body: Walnut, Figured Maple top
Neck: Maple/Rosewood (rose vine is vinyl decals. I can't do intricate inlay that well)
Pickups: DiMarzio Breed positioned about 1 bobbin width forward from normal bridge position
Finish: Natural; matte tru-oil with PRS style faux binding

Body: Poplar
Neck: Maple/Rosewood
Pickups: Unknown DiMarzio. It came with other parts and the color was fitting so I used it here. Sounded good similar to PAF style so it stayed.
Finish: Skull & Roses fabric top with matte poly.

A Les Paul Standard (wood, scale, pickups) with some aspects of a PRS (double cut, gold top finish, action, heel cutout) and 60’s thin style neck.
 
Bodywood: either a spruce body paired with a port orford cedar/cypress neck or Honduran mahogany body and neck, using only animal hide glue, ss frets and finish-wise: shellac with thin nitro over it. Pickups would be various vintage ones I’ve got. I’m lucky to have a few guitars that fit my criteria
