The place for music makers
Eddie Van Halen's new signature guitar revealed...
The MusicRadar Team, Mon 28 Jan 2008, 10:46 am UTC
One of the many attractions of Fender's booth at Winter NAMM 2008 was a new prototype signature guitar designed in collaboration with none other than Mr Edward Van Halen.
Following previous associations with Music Man and Peavey, Van Halen's recent relationship with Fender has so far yielded the £15,000+ 'Frankenstein' replica and the EVH-branded amplifier range.
It looks likely that the next addition to the EVH product line will be a new signature model. With what appears to be a similar spec to the Peavey Wolfgang and previous Music Man signature instruments, the guitar remained locked in its glass case for the duration of the show so we were unable to ascertain much more than the accompanying pictures reveal.
Until MusicRadar brings you more on the new Van Halen signature instrument, check out our EVH-flavoured tutorial, or find solace in this YouTube video clip that proves even fleet-fingered legends have their share of bad days at the office...
That guitar is identical to the Peavey Wolfgang...
Fender have just completely ripped off peavey's EVH guitar!
For me Maple is not my friend
Looks cool, though-like the carve and the color, FWIW
I might buy one if it comes with Rosewood option,
not because it's an EVH model !
"It's nice except for the maple fingerboard"
Have you ever seen Eddie play anything but?
I wonder why he has gone for the same shape again?!
