I’m in the midst of building a Jerry-caster now. $400 for a used mexi strat and about $500 or so in hardware cost (Wald buffer, an SDS 1 neck pickup, Dimarzio Super 2 for the middle and a Dimarzio Dual Sound for the bridge, an OBEL jack plate, 10k volume pot, 250k (for single coil) and 500k control pots (for humbuckers) and some switches (to split the coils & for OBEL on/off) and wiring. For about $1000, it’s a great setup. You would also need an OBEL box for the pedal board (I use the Hub Bub Pro - by Godfrey Daniels - great pedal for using both an OBEL setup guitar and a regular guitar with a push of a button). I did have a Phred Wolph, which sounded decent when setup right, but the neck was just way too fat/round for me (more like a Les Paul and I’m a Strat guy).

You really nailed Jerry's late 70s sound! I went to some shows during that period and your rig sounds a lot like the wolf guitar he was using. You really captured the graceful style too.

Great video. Thanks, Gabriel! For those of us using a strat, I set the pickup selector between the bridge and middle pickup. That gets you most of the way there and from there using a Fender style amp like in this video (Pro Reverb, Twin Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, Princeton Reverb, etc) helps dial in that tone. I agree on pedals as well - using a light overdrive can help add that bit of edge that helps notes sing during solos. In a perfect world, I'd probably prefer a Klon or King of Tone, but there are many low-budget pedals that can get similar tones and don't break the bank. The one thing I don't recommend is the Qtron + for envelope. I'm still hunting for my favorite envelope filter. The Qtron + has been nothing but a headache for me since I bought it...constantly has electronics issues and has been sent to EH multiple times, but the issues have never been completely solved.

Call Dave Cody at Sweetwater. We had them build me what we called a Pseudo Eagle for about $2,200. They took a PRS guitar for about $800, plecked it, changed the tuners and pickups, and ordered the preamp from a guy on KZfaq and installed it. The guys building it had a lot of fun doing it. Dave will remember the details better than I do. Really cool guitar.

Totally David, thats a great point. I’m the same, I love a good fender clean tone. And to your point, I think the fun is more about the chase. Also, Sometimes trying to emulate a sound you realize it’s actually not for you and make adjustments. Finding your own sound is a journey. There’s a lot of trial and error!

We are all inspired by others to pick up an instrument and try to emulate that sound. In our pursuit of imitation, we discover originality and our own voice. Trying to pretend that we came up with our own sound with no influence or inspiration from others is pure delusion and ego.
