Pretty sure on this tour that VH has a live keyboard player who plays offstage. If you pull up other vids of this same tour, you'll hear that the keyboards were in tune with other nights, just not in tune with the guitar (the keyboard is tuned a half-step higher than the record).  If you notice...

What is the charge on this headstock?  Also, does it start with the options from Paddle or Angled Paddle to determine wood options?

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=758588 I recorded the Fralin VIntage Hots; this guitar is alder with Rosewood fingerboard.  I recorded the Fralin Blues Pickups; this guitar is alder with Maple fingerboard.  These pickups are 5% overwound compared to the Vintage Hots. ...

Beautiful guitar, grats!

MKFan, WIth regard to pickups, I've downloaded two clips for you to consider: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=758588 I recorded the Fralin VIntage Hots; this guitar is alder with Rosewood fingerboard.  I recorded the Fralin Blues Pickups; this guitar is alder with Maple...

As for pickups, they are so subjective it's hard to recommend.  A good place to read about H-S-S combinations is here (I'm not saying buy the pickups here, but they do go into some description of the tones of some pickups, and give some options regarding wiring potential)...

I like the recessed tune o matic, I think it would go great with what you're trying to do. Just keep in mind that ebony boards will sound brighter than rosewood; but since the body is mahogany maybe you want that extra brightness.  I'd try to find some mahogany-bodied guitars and see if you...

Yeah you're right, hard to tell from the pics.  The key I think would be the carved top with whichever style.

If you're trying to get close to that pic: 1.  I would go with the 7CT body with maple top and mahogany back.  Add cream binding and the appropriate finish and it would look close to that pic. 2.  I would go with a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard for a warmer tone and maple neck to approximate...

Oh BTW I have probably the exact guitar your father plays; I have a 1996 American Std Inca Silver Stratocaster w/Rosewood fingerboard.  I also have a Warmoth with the Standard Thin neck profile and compound radius fretboard.  While the neck profiles are similar, they aren't exact.  I don't think...

I agree.  If anything I would get him an ES-335 type guitar for some excellent blues tones.

Since Warmoth does custom bodies, could you request a model with a different back template as a custom body?  For example, a VIP body with a Variax routed back similar to: http://www.guitaristjeffmiller.com/guitars10.htm I guess if they could do it, the question would be how to create the...
