"If you like pina coladas" tone

[Michael Bolt-on]

I'm looking for that Rupert Holmes/Escape guitar tone.  What's the most appropriate Warmoth for this tone? 

TIA

There is no Warmoth suitable to play anything that bad on, try Allparts...

Aw come on. If you think he's trolling, a snappy answer is warranted. But the tone kinda works for the song.  Back in Black doesn't work just everywhere (though I am sorta on a mission to find all the places where it CAN fit).

Looks like a maple-necked humbucker-equipted strat. I don't know what he's playing through, but David Gilmour gets a similar tone by running a clean overdrive through a big muff (it was a ram's head style muff, IIRC.)

EDIT: of course, it could be that the guitarist is just miming playing guitar in front of pre-recorded music, although it sounds like the singer is live.

EDIT2: I never noticed it, but apparently every verse is the same music because only one verse was properly recorded:

And now I want to hear William Shatner's version.

Everything about those videos is just sublime.  I miss that oily 70s forehead action.

Did you honestly think we would not get to the bottom of this? It's the internet.

I think that guitar is actually a period music man - probably through some music man amps.
