I started with an old Ibanez neck and I added a Warmoth poplar Soloist body. I plan to run a single HB, single volume, coil tap and a Floyd Rose tremolo. The neck is rosewood over maple and I'm looking for a vintage 80's rock sound, specifically an early VH sound.
On my list are:
Super Distortion
Dimebucker
EMG 81TW
Fralin HB
I put the Fralin in there because I have them in my 73 LP and in talking to him and explaining what I want he nailed it.
I've listened to sound bytes from the other three, but I'm not sure what guitars they're in, woods, necks, etc. Eddie's FrankenStrat used a P.A.F. from a 335 but I'm sure it was rewound, and wax dipped, so a hot P.A.F. type would probably work too.
So far I'm leaning toward the Super Distortion only because it's the cheapest and it gives me a starting point of saying I'd like more of this or less of that...
Thanks
