Question I really want to know EXACTLY what color Brad's Dan McDonald Custom was , what kind of pick guard it had and if possible, What kind of neck and head stock it was, What is the symbol on the headstock?
Answer An exact color isn't gonna happen..mainly cause the guitar was treated with a powder pigment that he soaked the wood in.As for body it's made out of honduran mahagony, a maple neck.the fretboard is ebony,floyd rose locking trem,gotoh tuners,pick ups were an old humbucker he got out of a dean guitar and a semour duncan JB(jeff beck) in the lead.For the color i'd find as many pics of it as you can and look for bodys' that match the pics as best possible.
The body of the guitar is based on a 1960's vox hurricane and a GL 100.
