Nice !!!!!! :)
Donning the tour shoes and the Christmas light hanging sweats. I'm beginning to think this guy's as frugal and unconcerned with clothes as I am.
Maybe he is just your average dude who happens to be a guitar genius....Quote:

I think they all are......Quote:

That's one more thing I learned about Ed in Sam's book that actually endeared me to him. Shit bag Hagar wrote some dreck about how he wined and dined in fancy restaurants throughout much of his career. When he met the Ed at his house for the first time, he was shocked to see this genius whip open the freezer (broken handle and all) take out microwave hot dogs, nuke'em, shove them in his mouth and said, "let's go" (to the studio I presume). Sam tried to make the point almost as if the trait of being down to Earth was beneath him. Backfire Bette.Quote:

3-1/2 years clean
That is totally true . Ive spent years saying ed was full of shit and what I probably meant was ed was full of booze and drugs.Quote:

Cool... Ed is embracing his legacy rather than running and hiding from it.
Just one word now... Vault!! Might as well Vault... go ahead and Vault!!

I believe the strings are actually a series of neon lights that light up in a series in two different colors. You'll note the headstock only has 6 tuners.
LOL, you guys kill me.....Quote:

I don't think it's all that...
It's a day late and a dollar short just like everything VH related, these days..
So, you and Kristy get along?
I just hope Ed realizes just how much those stripes and that band - with Dave out front - means to a whole hell of a lot of us...
I wonder if Sammy's tried to piss on it yet :gulp:

I'd say 'better late than never' applies. Besides, you don't get a commemorative sculpture during your hey day.
Yeah, but dude...
The Van Halen legacy doesn't ride on some silly patented guitar stripes that even EVH himself doesn't doesn't utilize these days...
It's the music...
More specifically, the music he made with David Lee Roth...
Do you see that anywhere ??

Hey... once a gear head, always a gear head!!!Quote:

The tone knob is correct but was white not black and didn't go to 11... only 10. There were only 3 screws holding on the partial pick guard not 5... Plus the quarter is missing 3 additional drill holes... But who's being picky... ;)
I can only guess Ed and his intellectual property lawyers let the use of the stripes slide or he got licensing fees for it.
Oh, please do !!Quote:

It does look good lit up though...
