A quote from someone who knows [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
not me DOOOHHHH

frankenstrat - black and white, then red, black and white) - "that was a charvel body, heavy ash, made from the tooling that Dave Schecter set up for Wayne. it had a quarter under the floyd, maybe to make it sit level. The bridge was a full quarter inch too far back, never could have intonated. I moved the bridge up to where it should have been, I left the quarter. We made a hocky stick neck for it. benny painted it to match the old one. when we put the guitar back together, i read the pickup to see what it was. it read open on an ohm meter. i about died, i thought i had broken the famous pickup. turns out it was fine, really weak, really bright. we took turns trying to sound like ed playing through my 410 bassman. we didn't get close."
Here is the Charvel Body with the hocky stick neck made for it. (note the quarter at the bass side of the bridge.)

"it played pretty terrible when it came in. when we got done putting our neck on it and setting it up with the bridge in the right place, it played great. the switch and neck pickup are not connected, just for looks.
steve ripley is responsible for all the knobs on Ed's guitar above. he came up with the electronics. the pickup is hexaphonic. each string goes to it's own pan pot, then to a stereo output. for the song top jimmy, ed pan every other string hard left or right. i can't remember what the other knobs did. the regular kramer riply's just had the pan function. steve did some other guitars with lots more crazy electronics for steve vai, dweezil, and ry cooder."

the most inspiring thing you could ever hear at a rock concert:
"look at all the peeeeople here tonight!!!" -DLR

absolutely no question about it. Van Halen is the standard by which all other rock bands are measured.
btw, anybody got any info on the strathead stripey he's supposed to be playing this tour? performance guitars?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You do. And so does Akira Takasaki from Loudness. He had ESP design a red star w/ a floyd and slapped on a maple neck and toured the world promoting "Thunder in the East" circa 1985!
