    EVH Strat Stripped guitar Relic wood cracks near studs

    Hi everybody! Hope you all are doing well. I bought a couple of months a EVH Stripped Relic Guitar (April 2021) and I just realized there are two cracks near both studs from tremolo system. Attached are the pics. I am worry because this guitar was bought brand new. I don't know if I received...

    Amazing EVH tribute

    I ran across this video from Mike Dawes this week and I was blown away. Here's what he wrote in the comments of the video: "When I was 14 I heard Eddie Van Halen play for the first time and his playing changed my world. From transcribing his iconic 'Beat It' solo at school to attempting his...

    Nostalgia for 80s Jackson and Charvel Guitars

    I have superstrats on the brain for a couple reasons. Number 1 is EVH. I have spent some time learning about Frankie. I never knew the story about the quarter near the floyd, creative that. VH1 sounds so good. Number 2 is I put some new PUPs in my 1999 Jackson PC3 HSS and really enjoy playing...

    Can I paint over Squier sealer?

    Hi all- I sanded down an old black Squier strat today taking off the top color layer. I am now at the infamously thick and difficult to get through sealer/poly layer. I’m making a Frankenstrat replica with this guitar so I plan to paint over it multiple times. Do I need to worry about stripping...

    EVH- Eb Frankencaster Kramer = Strat?

    Hello Everyone, can anyone point me in the right direction for an EVH painted strat body? I'd like basswood but that might be difficult. I can't find sights that sell the body prepainted. Since my divorce, I don't have access to painting spaces like before. Also, so the specs of a Kramer fit the...

    NPD - ProTone Dead Horse OD (yes...another TS variant)

    I picked up a Dead Horse OD pedal during a recent sale ProTone Pedals had going on. This is another TS-type (hence the tongue-in-cheek name!) but has a switch that will let you go between symmetrical and asymmetrical diode switching (although I honestly can't tell much of difference between the...

    NDD (New D-Tuna Day)

    Just installed a d-tuna on my Charvel and figured I'd do a quick demo/review (apologies in advance for filming vertical...my wife was helping and I didn't want to make her do a second take!). Basically, if you have a Floyd Rose and want to change to drop D tunings, you know it can be tricky...

    Best pre-'77 rock solo

    Some friends and I are discussing this: What's the best rock guitar solo you can recall prior to VH1?

    NPD - EVH Phase 90

    Well, I cant say this is my first Phase pedal (...or even my first EVH Phase 90 pedal) but I found myself missing having one around to play around with. Funnily enough, I probably could have saved a few bucks and just bought a standard MXR block logo pedal...so far I'm liking the EVH pedal with...

    EVH pickup wiring?

    Hey everyone, so I've been building an exact replica of Eddie Van Halen's black and white Frankenstein and it's nearly complete. I ordered the bridge about a week ago and I'm going to order the tuners today. The only other thing it needs now is to be wired up. I have 1 Mono Jack, 1 500k...

    EVH Potentiometer 250K vs. 500K

    So I just recently started building an exact replica of Eddie Van Halen's original black and white Frankenstrat and now I'm about to purchase the pickup and the pots but I don't know which pot to buy. I'm not all knowledgeable when it comes to wiring (I need to buy a book on it) and so I'm just...

    NCD - EVH 212

    Well, fate struck today....an almost new EVH 212 cab popped up on the local craigslist. I offered up my non-working JCM800 combo for a straight trade last night and the guy agreed. Now you are probably thinking by now...has sam has completely lost it? An '82 JCM800 combo for a 2x12?! I know...

    NAD - EVH 5150iii LBX

    My new amp just arrived...15 LOUD watts of rock 'n' roll goodness in lunchbox-sized box. Seriously, I've played a few lunchbox amps before but this thing is crazy loud, even with the 1/4watt switch engaged. I only played with it for a few minutes before heading back to work, but this thing is...

    EVH Wolfgang Dimensions And info

    Hi, Could someone please tell me the EVH Wolfgang guitar body and neck dimensions? Also could you please tell me how the body is carved? I am looking to build one and would not mind if it is Peavey, EVH or Ernie Ball. Thanks.
