If you could combine any type of options(wood, finish, etc), limited or regular doesn't matter, what would it be?

Personally, I'd LOVE for a JP12, with a Koa top, in Silver Burst and with Rosewood Neck.
Yeah, that's a crazy build. But hey, that's why I'm asking what your crazy builds would be like :D

Start with a stock Silhouette Special (alder body, stock pickups)...

...maple top...
...same colour finish as the 20th Silhouette...

...all-rosewood neck...

...Steve Morse-style transparent pickguard...
...the volume knob a little closer to the bridge pickup...
...and Game Changer.

Mhmmmm!
Those Rosewood necks are so darn beautiful, haha.

And Game Changer really makes up for its name. I wonder if that ever comes to a JP model. Perhaps with the Stallion (A)

And what kind of finish would it be then? You said clear but assume that you're just referring to that you should be able to see the wood-figuring on the quilt top :)

Two guitars
1. JP6 Loaded Mystic Dream Rosewood Neck
2. JP12 Barolo

Yes! The JP6 Mystic Dream w/BFR RW-neck was AWESOME.
I'd love for JP7 in the same configuration.

25th Anniversary in Bahama Blue without the burst like the JP limited from GC

That was an awesome run, indeed. A shame it was only 50 made and only available from a US-store.
They should do a limited run on a store in EU sometime and not only for GC which is US-based.

Emerald Green 25th Anniversary with Sh15 in bridge. dream....

Green things are awesome, kind of the reason I got the DDII as my first MM. Emerald Green is gorgeous too!

Not my 'dream' guitar, but what I'd love now. Standard SSS AL with a solid RW neck. Should have ordered it when they were available.

Well, I think there is plenty that EBMM has offered and are offering that I would like. For instance the current PDN offering is really just amazing, and would love both a Y2D in that and a Silo Special.

But I like DrKev's take on the Silo Special. would love one with an all rosewood neck and a flame maple top. But I would probably like a mahogany body or basswood. The caramel burst color is definitely an amazing finish as well.

The other Y2D I would like is just a standard Y2D in blackburst...not the reverse headstock one and with a roasted neck as well. Standard black SM pickups as well.

This may change from day to day if you asked me on different days... Always some kind of Axis though.

Today...I will say an Axis with an Ebony fretboard...silver to black burst sparkle with matching headstock.

I'm not a complicated guy. I just want a Silo Spec in honeyburst or walnut burst. I remember the honey burst run they did for the Johnny Hiland silos, but man, I love those two colors.

What would be the point of silver bursting a Koa top? Wouldn't that be hideous? Or is it just cause you like the sound of the wood? :p Honest question.

For me, I dunno... Hmm.

Original body-style JP7, but the body wood would be mahogany, birdseye'd to hell maple neck, ebony fretboard, SS frets, powder black hardware and a chromalusion-type dark red/purple paint colour. No inlays at all. Scallop the last 4 frets. Piezo and matching HS too, of course. Mmmm

The point would be.. because I like the Koa figuring :)
It's like asking what the point is of having Black Burst on Maple Quilt tops. Obviously, I'd want the Silver Burst being transluc..eant or however it's spelled, so that you can see the figuring ^_^ Maybe I should've mentioned that :D

Personally, the Koa figuring is the most beautiful there is on a guitar, hands down. Maple figuring, like quilt and flame, is very nice too so don't get me wrong. But Koa is just a whole different class :)

While we're talking Koa. I'd love for a Koa in Emerald Green too!
