    Yes, but is that a desirable feature? Heavy ash in my experience is the deadest sounding wood you can get...

      Others here know EVH/Charvel history way better than me, but I think when he bought the first body from Wayne, he wanted something heavy. The idea was to get LP tone out of a strat, and maybe he figured weight was key? I've never played a Northern ash guitar, but it's probably a matter of taste plus getting the right piece of wood, just like anything else. Anyway, it sounds OK to me here:

      This is Eddie doing his solo from the very first Van Halen tour.It's the oldest footage I've ever seen of them.BADASS!!

        I have a extra heavy Northern Ash Performance guitar from that era. It screams! It has a maple/ebony neck, so a warm sounding pickup helps!

        Nice story
        Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.
