It has everything, the dummy neck pickup, the single volume knob labeled tone, the quarter under the Floyd Rose, etc. I want it sooo bad. They also have a Stealth in the toothpaste green with maple neck. All so good to look at! Congrats on your purchase, do Eddie proud!

    At all American guitar shredding he was. He was also VERY mean spirited. In the last two days I learned about his treatment of Micheal Anthony and the way Micheal was so damn classy in response. Did you know that Ed showed Micheal how to play bass? Never mind that Micheal was already good enough to be asked to join after his band played with Van Halen at a school gym. Eddie could have been a cool dude, he was not. Did you know that when Eddie had that bandanna on his head he was on drugs with sunken cheeks and insane? Too bad he was so messed up as a person. Sammy reached out to them several times with zero response. Van Halen bros are bad blood and now it is history that cannot be patched up like Dave, Sammy and Micheal all tried to do.

    @@hyperluminalreality1 as awful as that all was, you have to remember that because Eddie was the frontman for Van Halen, he had immense pressure on him at all times. From what I know Eddie only ever did drugs as a way to focus due to major anxiety he had growing up, and would only ever drink really before concerts to relieve his nerves. Eddie was a man tortured by drug addiction and substance abuse from the moment he set foot on stage until the day he died.

    @MP 81,16,18 CATS The day that he died, my lead guitarist that totally idolizes Eddie was saying that exact same thing.... I'm far from a doctor... but ... I'd hate to say this but I will.. Smoking imo is the reason that the best guitarist was taken from us way too early.. But what would I know ??? Hearing the news of his passing was the saddest start to my morning since I can remember.. He had a HUGE influence to my life. Probably the biggest because, of the people that I met because of his playing and also what he meant to Pantera. I have a friend that went to 5150 and interviewed him and he had the time of his life meeting Eddie. Check out Jason McNamara's channel of the same name to watch it. Great video... I bought a 5150 III amp a few years ago and I love it. He saved Hard Rock & Metal for many decades I think.. Still does to this day RIP Eddie Van Halen.........................................

Not because he’s a salesman for it but it was his guitarist and perfectionist ways that sold it. UPS should be here within 20 minutes.

    @@humbug4478 OMG tell me about it! I have never played anything like it! That tone is insane! Even when you turn the volume down, you still keep the gain and get a cleaner sound. I don’t know how the heck he did it. I don’t have a 5150 amp and I heard plugging the EVH directly into the 5150 with no pedals is when you’ll really hear the beauty of the guitar. So I bought a Mooer GE150 amp modeler pedal that has the peavey 5150 version and the EVH 5150 amps. The pedal apparently is almost perfect emulating the real sound. So being inexpensive I figured what the heck. I bypassed my Boss ME80 and went straight into the amp pedal and wore headphones to test the sound. WOW! It has flange, phaser, delay effects etc built in like the real amp and omg it blows my mind and it’s not even a real 5150! Anyway, I got overjoyed there. Sorry about that but let me know what you think of it as you experiment more.

THATS what he looks at this as not just a one off addition to the EVH lineup no this is THE EvH lineup the same way gibson has les pauls sgs 335s but the les paul is IT fender has strats teles jaguars,mustangs,jazzmasters all awesome but the STRAT is the guitar... EvH has striped series,5150s, but the Wolfgang is THE guitar!!! , thats what i learnt from ed in this video... god rest your soul edward, and im rocking out to Mammoth WVH that kid is so talented and bringing back rock music to the MASSES! pop and hip-hop cannot kill rock aslong as wolfies rocking and the rest of us guitarists to!!!

    Ok, I don’t know if this is going to work but I will try every social media platform until I get it right. I have been with my fiancé for 8 years. We’ve definitely had our fair share of ups, downs, good, bad and ugly. His name is Josh A. Mullins and he has been in love with playing the guitar since he was 11 years old. The man who started his musical dream was your dad!! Over the years he’s had a Wolfgang guitar, a 5150 amp, and many many musicians song books. Your dad was his absolute hero growing up and the two of you still .Over the course of the past 5 years we have struggled severely, he has taken care of me and my 14 year old son like his own. He has voluntarily given up all his EVH music equipment and memorabilia over the last 5 years to do this. Absolutely devastated, he never said a word. I am trying to give him the perfect thank you for everything. An autograph,snap, etc,from his hero’s. I will find a Wolfgang/ Frankenstrat for him or die trying. Ty, Shauna Bailey 🎸

    It goes without saying. He was famous for using the original MXR Phase 90, MXR Flanger and the Echoplex. Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble. A compressor? No. A compressor is generally used for clean, single coil, tones. You get compression from distortion and overdrive.

    Sutty, Ed is one of my favorite guitarists ,and a huge inspiration to me as a guitarist. But he tells peole all kinds of bullshit..not honest..to keep his little secrets so people won`t copy EVERY single thing that he does. Their are a million EVH clones out there, and I am sure he is sick of it, even though it strokes his ego. And he has a HUGE ego, I don`t give a fuck what anyone says, about him being humble and honest . He is NOT humble at all. If you dont agree with him and Alex, your ass is fired. Ask Michael Anthony. What they did to him was cruel and totally uncalled for. Wake up my friend. You must be a young man, at least that is the feeling I get. I grew up with VH when they were at their very best. The Fair Warning tour was an unbelievable show!!! 1981, Madison Square Garden ,N.Y.C. Ed was on fucking FIRE!! Diver Down and 1984 were lame, as you could see they were not totally in to it,DLR was about to quit.

If the link is wrongly stating facts, then maybe EVH should sue them (or already have sued them) for misrepresenting facts, shouldn't he? //if he does use an overdrive pedal, it isn't specifically called a distortion pedal// Yes, he doesn't use a pedal that says "Distortion" on it, but he uses a pedal to generate the "warm distortion tones" (actual product description). Lastly...relax. I like EVH too and he is a great guitar player, but he is trying to sell his product here and is clearly embellishing. You don't have to take this personally.

    SYLFan2008 i know even an overdrive pedal distorts the tone, thus can be designated a distortion pedal, but in pedal classification a distortion pedal is heavier than an overdrive pedal. they both distort the tone, yes, but overdrive and distortion are 2 different things in this case.

    SRNF He's known for using pedals, but he's also known for using them sparingly, for little accents here and there. Especially in the early days. Look at his early, duct taped board. There's a phase 90 for solos, a flanger, and the echo plex. That's about it. He was never pedal crazy. In the later years, when his tone changed, he began using digital delays and a harmonizer to fatten his sound. But, those have been gone for a long time. He's back almost exclusively to a few simple pedals, the Phase 90 being the one used most often for solos.

    What a wonderful tribute to his son!! Damn I miss Eddie!!! Saw the real VH in 1982 (yes, showing my age, 61) with David Lee. Was an awesome show and Eddie played a solo for at least 30-45 minutes and everyone in the audience jaws dropped!! Just amazing!! David Lee was ok but he talked and goofed around alot which was ok for the first 5 minutes but after awhile it was annoying. But David is David and when he was on, he was awesome!! The band was tight and alot of improve went on but the songs were pretty much note for note. I remember they played for over 2 to 2.5 hours which was a long concert for that time in 1982, but no one dared leave!! Was one of the best shows I ever saw and will remember always! Thank you VH and especially to you Eddie, for making music come alive again and being a true pioneer of the guitar!!! :) Such an exciting night that was!!!!
