Hey there, wondering if you folks here who know 1000x more than I do on all things Jerry could suggest what the best options for getting the true Jerry guitar tone are in terms of being cost effective and getting the true 'sound'.
I am aware of the Resurrection guitars, 10k is just out of reach
Troy Post makes cool custom guitars, but is not taking orders
I see some folks using Warmoth as a base and then tweakign the electronics.
I already have a Fender Am. Strat that I got pretty cheap... $600 with nice seymour duncans in it. I could send this thing to AO guitars and Jerry-fy it for like another $600 I think. But will that really get it close to the right sound? or should I really look for a thru-neck as a base.. like a carvin and then Jerry-fy it? or Are there other recommendations out there?
I could spend up to 3k on a custom job. Will it be that much better than a tweaked Warmoth or Fender?
Sorry if my questions are dumb, I've read a ton on here, and realize that wood types are very key for part of that tone, but the cost of a true replica is too steep right now. And it seems like only a custom wlil have the right combo of Cocobola etc. So I'm thinking a intermediate solution would be to tweak my fender, tweak a warmoth, Carvin etc.
Thanks for any advice!
