Hey all,
You have been helpfull in the past and now I am ready to place my order. I am doing a Blues guitar for my dad's 55 b-day and have most of it planned out. He currently plays a strat and loves it but I have a 74 SG that was handed down to me from him that he bought new in 74. The SG he loves the tone and the "Bite" that it has and it can be warm and mellow as well. he loves the sound and playability of his strat. I am trying to meld the 2 together.
I want
1. Hollow body strat with Mahogony body quilt top and f-hole
2. Recessed TOM with string trough body
3. 2 Humbuckers
4. gibson SG style controls 2 tone 2 vol
5. Maple neck
Pick-ups I am lost!!!!
any feedback on these http://cgi.ebay.com/SKATTERBRANE-Gibson-Les-Paul-PAF-RI-Humbucking-Pickups_W0QQitemZ310029639557QQihZ021QQcategoryZ41429QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
any sugestions at all as I think this will be the largest factor on tone
Also I am custom making the water slide with his name and the serial number of the guitar will be the date of his birth but still undecided on the model name of the guitar. I would like it to be somthing along the lines of:
BluesTone Signature Series
Bluesmaster Signature Series
BluesCaster Signature Series
you get the picture...any toughts or suggestions would be appreciatied.
Thank You
Ken
