well, be that as it may (sure as hell looks like it is to me) Ed used the quarter to prevent the trem from pulling sharp. Can we end this moronic debate now? Christ, Ed only said this in @ 400 guitar magazine interveiws!

The Guitar was eventually repainted with red, black and white stripes and orange truck reflectors added to the back of the guitar.. This red-Frankenstrat first appeared as the black and white guitar pictured on the debut VH album The nut was brass and the tailpiece unit was from a 1961 Fender Stratocaster. This guitar was Edward's main instrument for the first several albums and tours. During the band's second world wide stampede Van Halen replaced the original tremelo with then-prototype Floyd Rose. A quarter was attached just under the top-back side of the floyd Rose to keep it from rising up.

scott's a fantastic player

i guess you better if ya have all that....much respect ......lots and lots of $$$$$

I guess as in Vom's case it is pretty cool, it's beyond psycho obsessed... I don;t get that stuff, just so you can say you have Ed's guitars? I mean really... What is the point of having all those? Does the guy pretend to be EVH in the living room or something?


LOL I really don't care so please keep speculative discussion to a minimum :thumb:

Well,your sorta right, he found that designing the trem cavity so the Floyd rests flush against the body eliminates the need for the quarter,like on the MM's and Wolfgangs. He only had the quarter on the Frankie..
Hey, I'm not looking for an argument, chill out.. or you will unleash the fooking fury! (lmao, I picked up on that) :devilchil

ha! right!

Well I'm a huge VH fan....but this is way over the top IMO. It looks like his collection just keeps growing every year. I do like the EBMM....but all the stripes are just not for me...that's Ed's thing and it's cool for him.

Certainly a bit over the top IMO.
I'd like to snatch one when he's not looking :lol:

lol...yeah how long would it take for him to notice one is missing...i guess the doubleneck would leave a big blank spot so forget that one....i would take the striped :bannana_g les paul...that could take a while to notice
