What it was - 9:55 ?! For russian speakers it sounds very bad, don't tell us such a things :)

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Great video as usual. One major innovation by EVH you neglected to mention is dipping the pick ups in wax. Nobody had ever thought to do this let alone try doing this. Eddie had been doing this since the late 70's and mentioned the fact in more than one interview. It took many years to catch on but now EVERYONE does it.... cheers.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

BTW, I believe the Floyd Rose was invented around the early 80's and EVH was one of the first to really use it. At this stage nothing "went backwards ". Around '87 Via bought out the first Jem and as far as I know, this was the first production model (and probably the very first) that "went backwards ".

[@jayteesgear]

Best 2 production Necks made . PERIOD

[@poundtacos4006]

My dudes! You have got to bring back "Sound Like"!!!!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

if they do Van Halen they should get... Eddie: EVH Frankie, Marshall JCM800, MXR 5150 OD, MXR Phase 90, MXR Stereo Chorus, MXR EVH Flanger, and a delay and for Michael Anthony, probably get his schecter bass and whatever bass amp songs they should do: Ain't talkin bout love, Panama, Cathedral, Oh Pretty Woman and maybe Eruption

[@ivorharden]

@@KeeperOfPoops I don't think a JCM800 is appropriate. It needs a plexi for sure.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

@@ivorharden i don't think they can get plexi's though, but they can hopefully find a plexi style pedal

[@MUSEiC]

A few months ago when Rebea was back for a few videos he mentioned at the end of one that it was coming back and they had a whole new set of ideas to revamp it, but nothings has happened yet. Fingers crossed its still in the works and not canned.

[@andrewrobert5019]

@@KeeperOfPoops they did a Van Halen one without busting the bank. They need to do a BY busting the bank. Why not an EVH amp? Eddie was using those

[@mykehutchings]

Re: Kill Switch - he used it when they played "You Really Got Me" live in later tours...to reproduce the pickup switch thing he did during the solo with the Ibanez Destroyer he played...

[@Briansgate]

this

[@richie_b-1234]

Absolutely correct. Later footage of EVH will find him with his white custom Wolfgang with the arcade killswitch.

[@MuvoTX]

yep spot on!!!

[@skylineXpert]

The destroyer is also the only with theback of the neck painted

[@burnsZY85]

You can do something similar with a guitar with two volume pots.

[@petersadler87]

Good to see Bea back at Andertons doing his thang 🤘🏻

[@edwindude9893]

Really talented guy.

[@allanwhittick2930]

He's an absolute beast. I'd go so far to say, he's the best young guitar player. Along with maxx Carlisle and Tyler Larson. Also check out "war" by David Goodman.... you're welcome.

[@kcussrebutuemos4815]

May be before this new lockdown.

[@effess8698]

3:36 "...so you get the best of both worlds" wow that sounds like a little piece of heaven right here on earth

[@SouthpawSatch]

Eddie used killswitches on his touring guitars when Van Halen reunited with DLR. Nice feature especially for some RATM. Great demo lads!

[@olivervixiennedominic6737]

Rabea playing the 5150 standard made me feel nostalgic when I owned a kramer stryker 424. Loved that thing. was gonna purchase a wolfgang but that neon pink with bright maple fretboard made me think twice.

[@louisbailey4900]

Love the Wolfgang series. Very articulate guitars...by this I mean you can hear individual notes of a chord, and while speed picking,just very clear sound on each note. These and the PRS SE are great bangs for the buck. Seriously...carrying the EVH name could command over a grand...but they keep prices low for us working stiffs.

[@GregGolightly]

great video - as always. I really loved the little part where Lee asks about the chord and how Rabea plays it, and then gets an explanation. Stuff like that is so real life

[@xJaGG3d]

I love Pete dying in the background at Rabea fondling the kill switch

[@2015IeepWranglerJK]

I enjoyed your comments on Eddie, there are times I still can’t believe that he is gone. Respectful video guys, thanks.

[@markgrant1302]

Eddie was also the reason for the fine tuners on the floyd. His idea, he's the reason you can tune it oncethe strings are clamped down

[@HenritheHorse]

Yes, Eddie has the patent on D-tuna and some other stuff!

[@robertwillett4122]

My sad story. I once owed a Wolfgang back in the day. I'm also a single father raising my daughter. She needed an operation so I had to sell my Wolfgang. But all went well, except l don't have the Wolfgang. I can tell you this, it is a very awesome guitar. Maybe someday I will be able to replace it. It's tough when you are a single parent, ask anyone who is. Yeah I loved that guitar, but not nearly as much as my daughter. PEACE

[@robertwillett4122]

@GenericSeth Mr. Generic Seth It's unbelievable that you care, l appreciate it! The guitar was, it was a while,I think it was called Transperaint red but I remember it had a beautiful quilted top, WG Wolfgang. I played like butter, the frets board felt like it was concaved like for finger taping, which I could never master. I just loved playing classic rock and the blues and I could jam don't talk about love. It was awesome.

[@docsworld1369]

I have 3 daughters, I definitely get it!! I for one would participate in a money pool to get you a new Wolfgang!! Perhaps if Andertons reads this they will coordinate that. You have my respect for sure brother!!

[@robertwillett4122]

@@docsworld1369 Hey Doc's World That means a lot for a stranger to care. But really don't ask Andertons or anybody else. We had some hard times, but there are people out there really hurting. Thank you so much, I couldn't take anything from anyone. I do thank you sir. You have kids and would do anything for them I'm sure. Things are better and my daughter knows the sacrifices I made for her. And her to me. We are good. Thank you again.

[@docsworld1369]

@@robertwillett4122 No problem Robert! I look out for good people and I lost everything 3 times and at 51 I hope it doesn't happen again. Stay strong and love on that little angel!! Good things happen to good people; you will get your Wolfgang down the road.

[@robertwillett4122]

@@docsworld1369 Well Doc, l can tell your a good man. I've lost everything once. But that's o,k, that's life. The only thing that matters is health, and above all our kids. If only people would work hard, pray and do there best every day. It's hard man. I have gave up so much to get custody, but gained so much more, you know a minimum of 18 years of putting off real careers in order to raise you kids. I felt so guilty that my little girl was raised without her mom. I just did everything I could to raise her properly. Now she justed moved out and has an awesome job, l scraped and put her thru 4 years of college. She never gave me an once of problems. I have truly been blessed. Now l don't know what to do with my self. I'm so lucky. Doc have a blessed day, and keep loving your family!

[@GrantBerni]

Thankyou! As an owner of a Wolfgang and also a pointy 80s Kramer, I just grinned all the way though that video.....and now I want a natural finish Wolfie. Back in the good old days (did I just say that), EVH used 2 volume controls and the pickup switch to do what the kill switch does (i.e. turn one volume right down and wiggle that swirch).. but I never saw him use a killswitch. A proper guitar hero and gear geek all in one 🤟

[@TheSupersabby]

my best guess the killswitch was added to eddies repertoire after you really got me, to the effect he had on a guitar with the bridge pickup with no neck and used the toggle to create that effect

[@SDisonYT]

The EVH Wolfgang Sandard Exotic has to be one of the best values in any guitar. All of that for less than £600 is incredible. Also, the Wolfgang USA has a Killswitch on it as well.

[@docsworld1369]

Yes. You have to get a special in order to have the kill switch. The USA special I looked at was $3500 USD. Umm no!! I bought a standard and a D Tuna and will be putting that on myself. I have never worn out a set of frets so the stainless steel didn’t matter to me. The standard can stand with any guitar at that price point and smoke most of them!!

[@OzzyVanHalen]

I was gonna go for that beautiful Wolfgang special but I think after this video, I am sold on the 5150 series. That guitar looks like a lot of fun especially with that killswitch included and the D-Tuna all in one. I feel like I’m getting the whole package of fun and creativity without even breaking $1000

[@ryman65]

Thoroughly entertained. I want one too! Babea , you killed it. Capt sir, you are no slouch.

[@mikeg2939]

Is it just me who thinks 'Bottle Opener' when I see a EVH headstock?

[@Tony-qz2vq]

Yeah not crazy about it.

[@raymondvaughan6262]

That's funny never seen it in that way but your right looking now

[@docsworld1369]

I’ve heard that before. Maybe I am the only one that likes it. Regardless of shape I love any headstock that keeps the strings parallel all the way up!!

[@countzero5150]

I've been calling it the can opener ever since I first saw it! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@thebeanmachine4369]

I really want to see more on the 5150 series and this was the only channel that did a brief demo of the guitar

[@countzero5150]

I have been nothing but impressed with the wolfgang standards, screaming good guitars for the price.

[@NoUploadJustComment]

Eddie had a killswitch on his black Wolfgang during the 2010s for live shows. Notably Jack White uses it on his own EVH (light blue with 3 humbuckers) as well.

[@jeffdavidson3563]

I saw VH live in 2012 and yes Eddie had a killswitch on his guitar

[@justinrivera8637]

Could not stop laughing every time Rabea furiously clicks that killswitch 😂😂😂

[@honeyyeti5292]

The look on the Captain’s face when Rabea kicks in...🤣🤣..looked like me when I shout at my kids for making too much noise...

[@tygrbyt3684]

Always preferred the videos with Bea such a mellow fun dude and his alternative style to Lee really shows the overall playability and style of a guitar

[@trevorreniger5670]

Anyone who needs to familiarize themselves with Les Paul should check out the album Chester and Lester. A great ensamble of classic fingerstyle "country" with Chet Atkins and Les Paul. Fantastic listen for anyone who appreciates guitar talent.

I should really start playing along with these intro jams.

The neck is my favorite part!! I have the Northern Lights. Wish it had the zero friction volume. Easy to swap though.

[@paulburton5150]

@@docsworld1369 I’m fortunate to have a Frankie too. The zero friction volume on that is great, but I am ok with the standard pot. I did add a d-tuna though 🤟🙂

[@docsworld1369]

@@paulburton5150 I will probably put my D Tuna on tomorrow, which is actually today because I haven’t gone to bed yet. 30+ years ago my mother bought me a really nice guitar. It is a semi rare Guild super Strat. I pulled it out last week and discovered that it has a zero friction volume pot. Another reason to love it!! Maybe I will switch that on the Wolfgang. Then the voice of reason says, “if you do that you will want to do it on 15 other ones.” I am ridiculous like that. @PhillipMcKnight has the same condition 🤣

[@GhibliNova]

He also invented wax potted pickups and standardized steel frets, also his signature white Wolfgang he used in his most recent tours had a kill switch

[@Diax1324]

I'm like 99% certain he didn't invent wax potted pickups, merely popularized potting the ever-loving fuck out of them (see: more) for uses that went beyond playing bluesrock - I.E. insanely high gain.

Edward invented the super strat. The laboratory Frankenstrat, Charvel Bumblebee and his favorite and final statement regarding the super strat: the Kramer 5150

The 5150 was actually based on the original Peavey Duel, the world's heaviest 2*12.

[@Fearzero]

They are all based on Fender amps.

[@allendean9807]

I believe the double bass had the first detuning apparatus, which was then incorporated onto bass guitars. EVH was the first to use these from the trem bridge instead of the headstock, which would have worked in a locking system...

[@CG-gf7ce]

Y’all need to get a USA signature Wolfgang to try out...it’s pricey, but worth it. 5150 also was the name of EVHs studio. (Police code for someone whose flipped out). Not sure if intentional, but good call out on ‘Best of Both Worlds’ another classic on the 5150 album. Think he used kill switch in later years vs toggling the pickup switch on some early VH songs... Enjoy the reviews as always.

[@brianmenke]

You should check out Bucket Head. He was the master of the kill switch creating very complex rhythms with it. Also, of course Randy Rhodes used the same effect in the beginning of Crazy Train. Of course he used his toggle switch on his Les Paul to do it. But same idea. It's a cool effect if done right

[@Fearzero]

Great way to destroy your toggle.
