He even acts somewhat human...

Still sportin' the homeless coat though...

Of course, not as cool as these shades...

FUCK! That should have been me! Been wanting that 5 second moment since I was 12.


"Eddie, will you take a picture with me?"

Smiling Eddie happily says "Sure".



ARGH!

Back on topic...I think were I ever to get an EVH Wolfgang, this might do...two words :Ebony fingerboard.

[Diamondjimi]

Gotta agree with ya on that one Jay. That is probably the coolest looking Wolfgang...

[jhale667]

I didn't play that one in the booth, primarily because it wasn't the one handed to me when I was checking out the EVH 5150 III 50-watter. But I liked the necks on them, pickups sounded cool...but add an Ebony board? NICE! Throw a Brass Big-Block on that bitch and it's ready-ta-GO.

And that video mentions what I was told not to at the time...that WAS Ed's prototype we were playing through. :eek: Yes, all of us lucky wankers at NAMM got to wank through THE MAN's actual amp. Pretty cool.

I've never played a guitar with an ebony fingerboard.. does it really make a difference?

It's fast and slick feeling like Maple, also has a similarly bright, punchy tone....and is none more black. I ♥ it on my Koa Strat -I want more of them....

[Nitro Express]

Ebony is a real tough wood. If you live in a dry climate you want to keep it oiled because it's been known to crack when it dries out.

[jhale667]

Doesn't have to be oiled even remotely nearly as much as run-of-the-mill Rosewood, which seems to drink lemon or linseed oil...
