What Guitar Are You Playing At This Very Moment...

[Eagle]

Have you played any of the EVH 5150s with the Kramer style headstock, Andy?

As a guitar they of ok but absolutely nothing like the actual one. The neck is totally different, not even the same nut width. The shape of the head and body is wrong too. Even the neck pocket is flat and high set compared to deep and a small angle.

I've played one in the guitar store I work at. The nut is wider like a Charvel or other striped EVH guitars(R4) and the back profile is pretty much the same as the other striped models.
I think the original 5150 had an asymmetrical C backshape and a narrow nut (R2) based on Music Man claims that they scanned the 5150 neck and re-created it on the EVH/Axis models.

Eagle would know best as he has actually held/played the original, I believe(and built some astonishing replicas).

Yes asymmetrical C with R2 on the original.

Great guitars
I love my Black P90 version .

My brilliant Nancy Wilson Fanatic on the right.

I love New Years Eve because it’s the one day and night of the year I can play my audio system and guitars as LOUD as I want without anyone or the pub down the road complaining

My rather heavy PRS SE Standard 24- Multi Foil which doesn’t get played that often for that reason.
It does sustain for ever though

 

[Dave Lewis]

For those interested every Multi Foil finish is different and no two guitars are the same .

I've used that technique with walls and furniture, but never on guitar. Can't say I'm crazy about the multi-color striped versions like this, I'd prefer the ones where the colors fade into each other better.

Not mine but his purple one is badass:

Big surprise....

I'm about to tape those 2 tone knobs down. Trying to nail the tone in the "Poles Apart" solo and I'm like 98% there, those knobs aren't off, they're barely cracked on and 1mm in either direction fucks it all up! I'm thinking Gilmour might have used his Gretsch with P90's on the OG version.

Maybe put some felt under the knobs so they don’t move easily

Super glue works better.
