I may have to eliminate some options to get the cost under my budget but here's what I'm thinking. Let me know if there are any other cool things I haven't seen or thought of that are also possible.
I pretty much want the best guitar I can get with a couple of cool unique things that will make it special. Rather the money go towards quality of instrument and I don't like anything too flashy looking either.
D-28 shape
Madagascar back & sides
Adirondack VTS top
GE Bracing
Quartersawn, no runout
Modern adhesive
Flamed Koa Binding
Flame Koa Headstock
Koa heel cap with my initials in abalone or similar material
Old style butterbean gold tuners
Ebony board
Diamond square long inlays
gold strap button
Fishman electronics
Old style 28 rosette
tortoise pickguard

That looks cool!
Any reason why Fishman? I just think that K&K does the best natural-sounding replication I've heard.
Also, I would advise against the initials. I know you never want to sell it, but you are killing resale value if something ever happened where you *had* to sell.
And would you want a burst?
I'm curious why no hyde glue?
