The guitar that Jack played

[rob91bob]

I had an idea after watching the great movie Crossroads. To build a tribute to the guitar that Steve Vai played in that movie. It changed a bit as I built it and now it is only a loosely based tribute(ok ok it's red is the only resemblance)  but here I present "Jack"

Wilkinson 5+1 Trem
Dimarzio Gravity Storm

Gotoh Locking tuners

Qparts Red/Chrome knob

Cool inspiration for a build! Is that the fiesta red? Myself I’ve always had a soft spot for Ralph’s Tele....

The night I saw that flick in the packed theater.... when Vai did his signature squall and squeal, an old lady behind me said quite loudly, "GOODNESS!". We were too into the moment to laugh at the time.

That is Dakota Red.

Camera's overcompensating for something. Maybe ambient lighting. Looks like Fiesta Red here, too.

Here's Fiesta vs. Dakota red side by side...

and here's yours, which matches neither. Looks more like orange...

Not that there's anything wrong with that - I'm just saying it doesn't appear to be Dakota Red.
