Eddie’s making all this cool stuff. I wish he would make copies of his hands and brain and sell them. His tone lies in his hands and head.Well…his ears too(lol) Cool pickup Ed!
Adrian

pretty neat.
i wish Ed would come out with
LEFT HANDED WOLFGANG GUITARS.
i would pay anything from $4000
to $12000 for just ONE left handed model.

Seems like a good price for a piece of history.Is Fender making this also?
Kevin

Haha Trey if you tell him that price I’m pretty sure he would do it!
http://theman.com Trey

haha i should.
but yet again, i stand and make a point here.
Kramer didn’t make that many left handed floyd guitars,
Ernie Ball didn’t make ANY left handed floyd guitars,
nor Peavey and the new line of Wolfgangs.
i do in fact own a Wolfgang but right handed.
but i switched out the righthanded floyd for a lefty.
its has a all black finish and it sounds badass.

Not sure why he wants to share his “secrets” now, he’s always been against anyone trying to emulate him or his tone, from what I’ve read. Get it if you going to use it build on and create your own unique sound.

Mark my words: Just 7 more months and the boys will tour North America again. Can’t wait! Let’s rock.
Daniel

Anyone know what kind of connection that is? It ain’t your usual 4 wire pickup. I mean, what does that plug into?
pushtoshove

Just 5 more years and i swear they will tour with a new CD.Cant wait! Lets Rock!

OK Edward’s gotta a new PU. out. La Dee Da.

I was just on you tube trying to find that old footage of Dweezil on his late 90′s ( I think, or early 2000′s tv show with Lisa Loeb) where he pulls out some striped guitars and starts belting out some EVH shit.

If anybody can find that post it! ( I know this has nothing to do with the auction , but it’s still entertaning for now)

Can anyone tell me if the Evh custom pickup have the alnico II magnets? The resistance is around 8.5k (I read that the old van halen’s pickups were equiped with les paul humbuckers with 8.5k resistance). Sorry for my bad English.
Cheers from Brazil!
