    naw, he just gave one of the back-ups to a hard rock Cafe. He's made like a bunch of back-up striped Kramers in the 5150 style.
    The name Sammy Hagar conjures up a variety of emotions from music fans--from hate to contempt, from disgust to revulsion.

      Yeah, I've seen a picture of Eddies guitar nook under the stage in the 5150 era. There's sevral of those striped Kramers on a guitar rack as backups and Sammy's ugly as shit yellow Kramer Striker.

      Isn't that black and yellow Charvel Ed played on the VHII tour in Paul Allen's museum in Seattle?

        Nope, believe it or not, Ed buried it with Dimebag.


        So It's resting with Dimebag atm.

          I'd like pics of that particular "burial" before accepting it as the truth.

              From what I hear Zakk Wylde wanted to bury Ed along with Dime. Shit, Ed probably just brought one of those shitty Charvel Art Guitars.

                There is a pic of the room above Ed's garage where he used to store all his axes and there is a stack of 5150 'type' bodies under a couple of speakers! As far as I know, there was only ever 1 guitar that had the '5150' number on it. there were plenty of other guitars that looked very similar, but without the number on them. My main problem with people thinking that there was more than one is that if you look at pictures in chronological order, the wear progresses. I can't imagine that even Ed would have someone there to add any additional scratches or dings to any/all the replicas he is supposed to have had. As for the VH2 (Bumblebee) guitar, how can you class any of his guitars as being the 'original'? The Bee had many different necks, pickups and trems on it.....so maybe he did bury the original body with dimebag, but does that make it the 'original' guitar??
                So long....and thanks for all the fish!!
