... so, will the Cold Sweat get me close?
I'm thinking '74-75, the She Knows, Rosalie, Fighting tone, more than the the Jailbreak tone.

I think it will get you close TO,but maybe check out the Emerald first.I believe Tim voiced these around the early Lizzy tone.(Correct me if im wrong).I think the CS have a certain 80's feel to them with a really fat bottom end.They are very versatile.

I have a Cold Sweat coming, and thought that would be a cool tone. No biggie, as I can always get another guitar to specifically do that kind of sound, if need be.

It will do the classic rock thang no problem but there is more juice available if needed for different styles.And youll love the sustain!!

I'm not a LP fan, in terms of playing ...  LP + my body just don't match up properly!  :roll:

I would love a guitar that looks like a LP from head on, but has a tummy cut, 1-3/4" nut width, and other things I prefer in a guitar ...

It's a definite 'someday' guitar!!

That's my problem with LPs too, I'm used to strats. The PRS is as far as I can go....

Tim has a Les Paul with an extended cutaway and comfort contours.....I want it :!:

I know what you mean, i have always played strats.But in the last year i have been gigging a Les Paul.Playing the strat for half a set then changing to the les paul takes  a little while to adjust to,different sized neck etc.

I am in the process of having all my guitar necks made to be identical for that very reason!

Sorry Ben, the Cold Sweat is definately an '80s Sykes tone.For the earlier stuff I'd go for a Riff Raff or Emerald..........even your VH II in a LP will do it 8)

That's okay, I'm going to stick with the Cold Sweat; eventually I'll do some kinda LP project with that kind of sound in mind.  Thanx for the add'l info.

Hi Ben,

I know you hate Les Pauls, but I have one with the Riff-Raff in the bridge, and one with an Emerald.  If you want to hear them with your amp, I can bring them into the city.

Cheers

Now, how can I refuse that offer?! :)
I think we should definitely meet up one evening - that would be great!!
I also know a couple of great watering holes; nothing high end (I'm not the type), but very satisfying!! (Translation: beer is great, and wait staff is hot!)
