EVH Striped Series '78 Eruption Electric Guitar White with Black Stripes

It's a cool guitar. I've attempted to build one myself a couple times,but this doesn't feel or play like a $1599 guitar.the next one will probably be a warmoth build. Snag a used one save some bucks.

I am enjoying it. You always have to stretch strings really well I have several YJM strats if you simply fret too hard it goes sharp. The bar needs breaking in or maybe a KHALER. I hate Floyd's. I am putting my own little red Killswitch just like all the little kiddies are told to. Lol I'll get a KHALER or simply locking Grover's. Other than that the tone is awesome. I'm going to put the neck pickup from my charvel Henrik and out it on this guitar as well push pull pot to toggle from one pup to the other.As long as push pull pot doesn't mess up the treble roll off.If so I'll just hook it up with a toggle switch.

I use this product to make music with. I was trying to say before I did not read warnings about it not staying in tune. I don't know if it because I've play so long. Or what but my EVH has never sounded this close to vh 1 vh 2 diver down etc. I've got USA made EVH stuff. I'm addicted to the feel of the necks on all of them the charvel art series needs to be BROUGHT back. I was extremely worried. This particular guitar doesn't have the exact feel on the neck but it's still kinda magical. Full blown at volume very high this thing ROCKS..NO PROBLEMS WITH IT STAYING UN TUNE. I STRETCHED OUT THE STRINGS SAME AS I HAVE FOR 40 years mom problems.i I highly recommend no one but this BC I will sound better than you and every one else if I'm the only person to buy one.

The neck, fretwork and fret-wire are excellent. The specs are not 100 percent as the original neck is 21 frets not 22 and the body is basswood not ash. However it is a great sounding and playing instrument. True the tuning stability using the fulcrum tremolo is not great but you could improve with locking tuners.

The Pros: The aesthetic of the first iteration of the Franky. The beautifully aged maple quarter sawn neck. This is the very first superstrat! The Cons: The tuning stability is very poor, even after following the Eddie setup video for this particular model. A dive bomb always messes up the tuning and a quick dive does not restore it to pitch. The gig bag is pretty much a very thin deal, minimal padding. Nowhere near what you'd get from PRS. If you are into case candy, better order from Sweetwater to get real candy bc there's nothing but a whammy bar here.
