Sterling Ball: The Truth About Those E.B. 5150 Strings And Dealings W/EVH
I have a large poster of Ed and Dave closeup printed in 78 or 79 and he is playing a white or yellow custom with the front pickup.It kind of look's like the new Wolfgang he used on the last tour, & he had the standard he also used on stage with the front pickup removed. Plus the one Les Paul gave him with the Floyd Rose, & two others he bought in the mid 80's to collect, a 58 & 59 I think. Not sure if he still has them all.

There were a batch of widely circulated photos from a late seventies festival the band played using borrowed equipment. In these images he's using a sunburst model Les Paul. Here is a shot of one of the models you are speaking of, with the front pickup removed.
The Musician Magazine feature.
From the eighties, another featuring some of Ed's guitars at the time.
The 74 Les Paul Custom? His dad helped him buy that, the receipt for it is reprinted in the Wayne Charvel book, with the payment installments listed.
Ed's sold some guitars but the guitar your dad helped you buy, youd better believe I'm keeping that guitar as long as possible. I bet he still has the 74.

From what I hear he's "donated" a few to the Rockwalk and Hard Rock Cafes and the like, but I have it on good authority -and have seen pictures, of a room in his house stacked to the ceiling with pretty much every guitar you remember...

Kramer was super-profitable because they started making the necks and bodies overseas, and then had them done altogether over there with the neckplates Neptune, New Jersey.
The Justice Dept. shouda been all over that shit. Some of the bodies were plywood. I had a Kramer strat solid white, when it chipped it was clearly plywood but the neckplate said Neptune.
Kramers were and are junk, except now Gibson was doing them here in the states by an Ohio luthier named John Hill who took Dean Zelinsky's job over in Florida for Dean Guitar.
They tried to get Grover Jackson to do the job because they wanted a strat type guy, but he didn't wanna move to Florida.
The worst guitar I ever had was a Kramer. The guy that ran Kramer just seemed like a two bit snake oil salesman to me. No Sterling Ball by any means.
But how could Ed do business. He was drunk all the time. He probably never read the contract and forgot things all the time. Ed will throw lead singers and bass players under the train. I mean this guy has zero loyalty unless you are biological family to him.
