Just want to see if I got the facts stright here. Mostly cause I'm still decididng on what to build.
Okay, so we know that VH-1 the album was, for the parts not recorded with an Explorer, that it was a black 58 Start w/ rosewood neck and a PAf variant in the bridge-most likely a Super 70 or Mitey mite.
We also know that for the VH-1 world tour he made the original Frankie red and white guitar out of a Charvel shop sourced boogie hard ash body and a neck, which Eddie Van Halen picked up at Charvels shop from outsourced parts from Boogie(now Warmoth) . Somone should really write a book on this)& the pickup in that hard ash red and white original Frankie was a Duncan rewound PAF ( now the '78).
I'm not sure where the black and white guitar with the black pickgaurd fits into this, but be that as it may, I would like to know what the difference was in VH-1 studio album produced by Templeman with the aforementioned '58 black Start w/ rosewood board, and the VH-1 tour sound/tone.
I realise probably noone may know, since you would of had to have heard someone who actually knew discuss it, or you would of had to of actually been there, and known enough about the sound to remember it and contrast it to the VH-1 studio album. There. Crossing my fingers for a reply.
