The Gibson Edward Van Halen Signature Guitar

[Gringo]

I had one almost like this!

I had a similar Gibson back in '89. It was named Q-100.
Exactly the same bodyshape(designed by Larrivee i think), a Dirty Fingers pickup and a tune-o-matic bridge.
It had a Custom Shop Edition-stamp on the back of the headstock just like this.
The guitar wasn't any good at all... a friend of mine has it now but he never uses it...
Whatever! :-)

They bought out Kramer Guitars in 2004, I think. They were later made by a now-defunct company called MusicYo.

But they didn't own Kramer then.

I believe they bought Kramer in 99, and had Samick make the first batch.

They sold thru Gibson's site musicyo.com, but the necks were shit.

Then they contracted with a guy in Ohio named John Hill who redid the necks, then started building the necks.. and I think Gibson dicked him over so he went to Florida to work for Dean Guitar in their new USA custom shop.

Maybe he'll return to Ohio in the bad economy, and pick up where he left off who knows.

Ed's new wife should start selling striped dildonics.

Whups.. quick check clarifies that one! He sure is back, in Cleveland Ohio.

What's a "dildonic" - something a gay reindeer wears 'round his neck to attract Santa?

uhuhuhhuuhuhuh

You're thinking of an antler. Totally different.
