If you think about how much money U2 has made, you'll see that beyond the third stretch it's just design.

Any new guitar designs I see are almost always ugly.

- And I'm a sucker for a maple fret board, they play and sound better to me, and they age really nice, visually.TheBlueOne

Been loving the Gretsch sound through my VOX amp, a perfect tonal match.

I'm having a custom guitar built this year, hopefully. I know a person who does repair work and custom work that is stunning, one of the very few people in Chicago who actually do complete custom work.
It's going to be based on the Telecaster Thinline (below) with a black satin finish, a slight gloss over the top of it to add a bit of shine. Probably a maple neck.
The finish would be a black satin version of a strong wood grain like this:The fun starts with the pickups - going to have a humbucker in the neck position that will have a switch to go between humbucker or single coil. Will have the typical Tele bridge pickup and usual 3 way switch.
The back of the body will also be slightly tapered like the back of a Strat - I rarely play my Strat live but I prefer the way it feels against my body over the straight back of my Tele.
I don't know when I'll be starting this, cost is around $1600 but after months of chatting about it we've pretty much locked down exactly what we might do. I'll keep you posted if it happens!
