    Overachieving VIP Hollowbody

    I would never play live anywhere without a second guitar as a backup. Some of the specs you have listed as once our directly conflicting with one another. You can get close enough with a humbucker single humbucker setup but it will only be close. You will never get a great Single coil sound out...

    You should definitely educate yourself some more before ordering. I had the "perfect" guitar built that did most of what you are after here and, spoiler alert, it was not perfect.

    Reading through this, I think you have a cool idea but none of the details are quite correct. Jazzmaster pickups are wildly different from P90s like kale vs ice cream. 1Meg pots will not change that. 24 frets will wildly change the sound of the neck pickup because the position of the pickup...

    Looking at the specs, you may need a B3 and a towner bar. I am not sure the B7 will fit on a VIP. You dont need the trembucker P rails with a gibson style bridge. I would start with 500k pots instead of 1meg pots and only go to 1 meg if you feel you need even more brightness. I have p-rails...

    False.

    How close is the Blue Ice finish to Pelham Blue?

    Pelham Blue always looked like Aged Lake Placid to me but I havent ever seen a warmoth lake placid in person so I am only comparing based on Fender guitars in Lake Placid/Aged Lake Placid to a couple of various shades of Pelham Blue I have seen and never directly compared.

    Wood grain analysis increases value of famous bass guitar

    I remember watching a thing on PBS where they found Bob Dylan's "Dylan goes electric" strat that was left for years at a venue and then the family that owned the venue ended up with it. They also matched the grain pattern on the fretboard in photos to verify its authenticity.

    Tried wiring my Dual Humbucking Warmoth Strat with 50s wiring

    for a 3 knob setup, I would do Volume/Volume/Tone where the tone will be "50s" wiring by default because a master tone will only be able to connect to the hot of the jack in a VVT setup.

    Second 'build'. - Graffiti Yellow HSS Stratalike

    If you go the route of getting someone else to paint it, DayGlo does sell paint and their yellow the color you are after.

    Second 'build'. - Graffiti Yellow HSS Stratalike

    I have had both. Neon chartreuse is the color you want but they stopped offering the neon colors a few years back

    Happy Flakes-giving!

    The email mentions that you can call/email in and ask but I doubt they will be around long so act quick

    Finally pulled the trigger, Turquoise VIP

    381s will fit the headstock.

    Before replacement neck manufacturers were a thing, what was the de facto "replacement neck", if any?

    They sold them until right before the Kiesel rebranding. But they were mostly compatible with Fender. Not sure about the beginning. Charvel and Mighty Mite were some of the first if not the first.
