It seems anymore most threads endup like this

Nobody suggested any such thing. You just like to start arguments. Just don't read my threads if they bother you that much and get off my back.
I think I'll join the ranks of SlapChop and thouston.

Thanks for the link on the custom shop. I'll look at the specs in a bit. As for everyone else, I'm not trying to be exact to the dot on Schon's sound, I just like that area of sound and tone. If I wanted the exact sound I would have asked if anyone was selling Neal Schon LP's. Thanks for all the feedback though.

You might as well ignore all the irrelevant yadayadayada. This is not the first time we've addressed a question like this around here. It's like an irreverent mother-in-law. Always around or turning up when least expected.

You've obviously listened to enough of Schon to realize that it's his rig...all the elements in his signal chain which translates what the hands and the guitar feed it. You're likely also going to need a Floyd Rose bridge in the guitar as well.

There's a feature article in a 2009 issue of either Guitar Player or Premiuim Guitar on him and his new signature LP if that's any help. And the pic posted herein, though it's the first I've seen of it, looks like a badass axe but likely one in a series of steps along the way of Schon's own personal search. Now it's a Gibson LP.

BigJay cites SRV. Rightly so in what he said. Remember as well all the time spent with the late Cesar Diaz fleshing out that signal chain and amp combinations. It's essentially Albert King on steroids with some Hendrix thrown in for good measure. But that's what he heard in his head.

Not only do you need to go the time and expense to put together the gear, but the technique and expression are another story. That's what it's all about whether it's Schon, or Knopfler, Clapton, Gilmour, Santana, Hendrix, SRV, EVH, and on and on....i.e.anyone with a signature sound. Their's did not come in an instant. It evolved.

Welcome to the quest for the holy grail of tone. It don't come easy.

Good hunting.
