PRS
And believe it or not - A Jackson Broderick. Coil tap, bar, strat-ish body with extra access, and the heft/sustain of an LP.
They are not just for shred

That was the main reason I had bought one. The truth is though, it's far too clear sounding to be an LP, it just doesn't have that midrange and woodiness to it if you know what I mean.
 
I remember John Suhr saying that a mahogany body maple neck sound different than both being mahogany. That may account for some of the tonal difference.
I'm not saying my all Mahogany (body with maple cap and Mahogany neck with rosewood board) Suhr sounds exactly like my les paul (it doesn't) but it does have that similar midrange push and thickness which IMO is identifiable.

I agree, and think it has to do with the way he had the pickups EQ'd.
 
PRS Custom 24 or Custom 22. I like the older ones with the five way rotary switch. I prefer its simplicity rather than having to flip a pup selector switch and then
manipulating a push pull pot.

A Strat is a Strat and a Les Paul is a Les Paul. A PRS is a PRS and so on. I love all of them.There are so many options put there. They are what they are and offer us many different options. So maybe you are looking for a PRS. If so don't look for a Les Paul or a Strat :lol: :LOL:
 
The PRS DGT will get you as close as is possible to what you want. It's the most versatile guitar, with the best sounding pickups anywhere.
 
Yea...I'm seriously thinking about the DGT. I had one years ago and remember the pickups being very much down my alley.

I haven't played a PRS that could pull off the strat thing with any real conviction. Just my opinion, I have two, great guitars but far more Les Paul than strat

Ya, most I've played were turds. But man they look good!
 
I have two friends that both have PRS Customs and while they look great, to me they both sounded very anemic. It wasn't just in my hands, they both have completely different styles and rigs, and both guitars were meh? Now I realize that players make guitars and not the other way around, but I haven't seen any videos of guitar players using them that made me say WOW.

To answer the OP's question, if you're looking for a versatile cover band guitar, a super strat is probably your best answer. Having done the casino circuit for a few years, you're going to need a handful of guitars anyway, for the different tunings and backups. The reality is, the audience could give two shits what you're playing or how close the "tone" is to the original. Most cover bands are playing with way too much distortion for the songs that they're covering any way, which further obscures the sound of the guitar.
 
Just find the right combo of wood, cutout, and wiring, and that should get you 90% of what you are looking for. Of course pickups will help here as well, and that should get you the last 10% imo...You can get these parts EVERYWHERE so do a little research and ask knowing members, and you'll get it asap...Good luck to ye'
