Just have a look at these! Quite possibly the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. One of the guitarists from Mastodon has one of these in Silverburst, which may well be the loveliest single guitar I've ever seen; trying to figure out what exactly it was led me to these. And they only made 40! The swines!
If I can find a link to a decent pic of Mastodon bloke's one I'll pop it in.

Still think you can't beat a good ol' Fender Tele
Neat! They've got Amputechture, too.
Telecasters vs. those custom V's is rather like apples vs. sausages - just completely different aesthetic paradigms. Both good.
One's more likely to jangle, though.
And the other tastes good with mustard.
On further contemplation, I think the thing about Telecasters is that they have this "it's just a guitar", "no frills" vibe which puts them, aesthetically, just one step away from whittlin' yer own. With your teeth.
Having said that, there's a film of Led Zeppelin in their very early days playing to a Danish television studio which demonstrates that it is perfectly possible to use one as a weapon of war.
