I don't believe there is any info on it... Read this quote from Hippietim:

Well, my post may have been a joke but Eddie most definitely has played a LP. It's well known that he recorded with them and I believe he even played one that had a Floyd and the red/white/black striped paint job.

Re: EVH

I am pretty sure that he played a LP one the first ablum. The fluttering sound at the end of the solo in You really got me is down with a LP by flicking the selector between a pup that is on and one that this off. Not something that is too easy to do with his VHI guitar [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Your RIGHT!! It was an Ibanez Destroyer (that's right an IBANEZ)that he used on all the tracks without a wammy. The neck pup was disconected, thats how he got that "fluttering" sound with the toggle switch.........

yep. Ibanez Korina Destroyer. In various interviews, he goes on about how it was a great guitar until he ruined it by turning it into the shark. lol. Although the shark is what inspired the charvel star.

There's still a lot of debate as to whether the body wood on Eddie's destroyer was really korina or painted ash. IIRC, all the Ibanez catalogs stated that the korina guitars were really painted ash. The debate arises from Eddie's statements about he wanted to get another Ibanez Destroyer to replace the one that he ruined, but that the new ash ones sounded like turkeys. Which kind of implies that Eddie had a prototype destroyer made out of real korina.

but no one on the Ibanez forums has ever seen a destroyer made out of real korina. so there is an equal amount of speculation that eddie was just friggin high. lol.

ok, there's your eddie trivia for the day.

Re: EVH

I've owned some "korina" Ibanez guitars and have never seen any made of real korina either. I've also read all of those EVH interviews. My guess is that he just had a really good sounding ash Destroyer and the later ones he tried were also ash, but just didn't have the mojo that his original had.

Re: EVH

Didn't Eddie borrow that Destroyer from Chris Holmes?

[RickStar]

Re: EVH

i wish he would have just stayed with charvel. it would make sense. kinda pisses me off he went to gibson.

[Chad]

Re: EVH

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think hippietim was joking when he said that about EVH moving to Gibson. He changes endorsements like the wind, but he is still with Charvel for the time being, correct?

Re: EVH

Yeah, you really have to watch that time fellow. You can't trust him too much. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
