I acquired most of my more traditional(-ish) instruments much later in my guitar collection. For the longest time I just wanted JEMs and RGs to put different pickups into.
The guitar in my av is the one I've wanted to talk about because it's so special to me. A friend of the family and a very very talented musician worked with Ken Hoover at Zion Guitars to re-create a Valley Arts Steve Lukather Model in translucent cherry. It ended up in my Dad's collection sometime around '85. He handed it down to me in November 2019. Since the thing is crazy gaudy (it's solid quilted maple for crying out loud, body by Tom Anderson) so my Dad had put gold pickups in it. We reverted it to stock for a bit until I bought some custom SDs for her and tarted her up good. I am not sold on the red-top knobs, but I don't hate 'em, either. Right now I think they're just amusing.
WRT to the real thing, this one is a two-piece quilted maple body with a bolt-on bird-eye maple neck. The fretboard is ebony. The frets are large but I don't think they are stainless. Thing is, Dad plays with a very light touch so it never developed any fret wear. I enjoyed the stock EMGs, but the humbucker was too aggressive for my taste. The singles were gorgeous. Currently I have a custom shop SD Saturday Night Special, trem-spaced and 5% overwound wired series/split/parallel on the min-toggle in the bridge. The mid and neck are Psychedelic Strats, essentially CBS-era lower-output Fenders. I'm saving the blood-n-guts badass single-coil set for my Strat when I get around to it.
Pics should be something like: Stock, gold knobs, then red knobs if this works. O, and the last picture is a goof, too: ten minutes with a clone tool and you, too, can have unrealistically dustless gloss-black pick-guards. That does not happen naturally here. Almost forgot to add the Ibanez stable (minus the Talman).
