Man, Dagan is so cool, he's also got that rockstar factor

[@PMTVUK]

He does, we love his madness! 🤘

[@Flukey_1970]

That’s because he is a geordie haha us geordies are legends just look at Brian Johnson. Mind if still have t seen him is the store haha one day he might be in the Newcastle store when i am about i must meet him

[@snapfinger1]

Daddy was a Gibson, Mama was a Fender. The evolution of EVH guitars give you The Best of Both Worlds.

[@brucerichard2904]

His affection for the man and the guitar comes across as very genuine. It must be contagious because I'm really trying to find a way to justify getting one.

[@PMTVUK]

🤘 🙏

[@A-a-Ron008]

Dagan + any Evh guitar = absolutely wonderful video

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks! 🤘

[@aaronlovell6026]

Eddie never cleaned the neck of his guitars. He also never used any kind of wood oil on the neck. He thought the oil from his fingers were all the neck needed. He felt like it added to the sound of his guitars. His guitar techs were told to never touch the neck, or pickup. Basically all they did was change strings.

[@aaronlovell6026]

You are correct on the slant of the pickup. When he installed it he nailed it in, and the hammer hit the corner of the pickup and cracked the plastic. One night he got the high E string caught under the pickup. When he pulled it out he broke the small piece of plastic off of the pickup. He said it changed the sound, but he liked it. When the professional guitar builders reproduced the Frankenstein, they said now we have to build a brand new broken pickup.

[@rubenmunoz5364]

that was the 5150 kramer, when dimarzio tries to replicate the sound for ebmm

[@Lotorc]

Finally!!!! I’ve been waiting forever for a single guitar KZbinr to cover this. Seemed like a no brainier once the 78 came out. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊

[@detthoff]

I own them both and love them ❤

[@Lotorc]

Do they sound any different from one another?

[@PMTVUK]

Any Time! - And they do sound pretty much identical, but you do play them differently!

[@detthoff]

@@PMTVUK exactly. They play different. I also have the bumblebee, Frankie and 78 eruption in different tunings. 👍

[@cliffords2315]

I like the Black and Yellow Strped EVH, plus its only around $,1,000

[@dav_memur3423]

When I win a Grammy I’m thanking Dagan in my speech

[@PMTVUK]

😂 😂 We look forward to seeing that! 🤘

[@michaelcox6597]

I love my 5150 striped series, had it for 3weeks. ❤ It pleases my eye more than the Frankie. Hope my neighbours enjoy Van Halen, cos I love playing their songs. 🤘🏻

[@Captain_Yata]

What I love about the Striped Series is that while they're ridiculously good, they aren't HUGELY expensive which I very much appreciate

[@laymardad3335]

(As an older guitar player, I am enjoying watching the Grey creep in!)

[@brynbugler5273]

Wow Dagan! You really know your stuff on EVH 🤘

[@ariella4063]

I was at the GS today at the Nashville store and was playing one. The sound did not have BODY, I noticed that with the EVH Fraks it is hit and miss. You must try them out before you buy one. When they are good it is amazing. I also, loved the neck..

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Fun and entertaining, love Dagan.

[@danbarnhart1805]

Yes, you can wire the neck pickup. I've done it and it is an excellent pickup for getting SRV and other neck Strat tones.

[@BotsWeekendCovers]

Man I love watching you present!!!!!! I have the Frankie, a gift from my beautiful wife. Its as good as you say!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PMTVUK]

Right on! 🤘

[@martinhensley2377]

Dagan, I like the video, I have both of them. I hope you do a video on the new Franky's and Stars.

[@PMTVUK]

Coming soon! 🤘

[@jasongoad1084]

I have them both. Love them equally. Probably play the 78 Eruption more.

[@murderbymedia]

I’m glad you’re Dagan! You ff’n rule brother! \m/,

[@PMTVUK]

🤘🤘🤘

[@Abdelrahman__rashed]

The intro play! Dsmn man you ROCK!

[@PMTVUK]

🔥🔥🔥

[@southernpride2003]

​@@PMTVUKI'm American From North Carolina yet I prefer when Dagan reviews if Dagan says a affordable less expensive piece of gear is good then it's good

[@danny29x]

I have the evh Frankie. Awesome guitar 🤘

[@g_man2177]

The tremolos only have 2 springs so that they aren't so rigid. The red Frankenstrat has a D-Tuna on the Floyd Rose so you can quickly go from E to Drop D.

[@sebastiandunbar8766]

Loved the red for some reason the white stripes felt bad in my hands

[@shakebabyhitler]

Dagan! Love your vids! You may not be the most technically proficient guy on yt, but you are easily one of the most likeable. From one charming mf to another, props to you. If you ever find yourself in Vancouver, Canada, look me up. I'd be proud to buy you a beer. Cheers!

[@blythea.wolfgang2702]

I really and truly wish I could play the Frankie or the Eruption but sadly EVH does not offer either model left handed and I play left handed

[@SLiMCHiCKeN5150]

Very accurate dude! Nice work 🤟 it is for show but it is an actual working pickup. Sounds like ass but it does work

[@iamajediirl6444]

My strat uses tone knob on the volume pot, it confuses people till I remind them the knobs aren't glued to the pot 😂

[@CopieSavage816]

I love Eddie Frankenstein!

[@shelbyrockstar]

How does the standard EVH striped series compare? Other than costing less? Is there a justification for the cost difference?

[@BudLigit88]

What is the actual "dummy pickup"? is it just an evh single coil, seymour duncan, dimarzio??? I know it's not hooked up, but I've seen multiple vids of people hooking it up and it doesn't sound half bad. Just curious as to what model the p/u actually is.

[@davidmartin6378]

Man you just want to grab one and play the hell out of it .....I'm eruption and finger tapping all night lone and dancing the night away

[@rustygill]

Dude.. I've known you for close to 15 years now... and I don't think I know anyone as excited to talk about anything as you are to talk about EVH guitars

[@PMTVUK]

Haha, he does love them! 🤘

[@tonybroken6353]

I'm pretty old (51) and i don't remember the frankenstrat, i remember the kramer 1984/5150 as being the first EVH guitar i saw, like on Live without a net and like he played on Beat IT.

[@zackk695]

The Frankenstrat guitar is what Eddie used to record all the first 5 albums and the most used guitar by Eddie

[@Allan-ts1ux]

This Dragon 🐉 always has a good time playing for us mortals... Just watch out for those hot licks.. lol 😆

[@robmoss8198]

Dagan is king

[@RiffRaider]

Eddie put the selector switch there as he wasn't sure how to wire the guitar if he took it off so he just screwed it to where the centre pickup was so he didn't have to mess with it

[@ltmaniac6456]

I wish I could afford these 😢

[@martinhensley2377]

The single coil doe's work. you have to hook it up Dagan.

[@martinhensley2377]

The Franky was the birth of the superstrat.

[@martinclayton7260]

Just imagine a band that Eddie and Randy Rhodes on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, and Phil Lynott on bass and vocals!

[@cMaXeJIJIo]

Just imagine me

[@fazquasha2632]

Gibson ES-335 not 325 was said around 11 minute

[@zackk695]

So the guitar sounds very different but it could be due to running it through different pedals and amps

[@faraoni.mattia]

does they have stainless steel frets?

[@ThePedroDB]

No

[@joemed6222]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@duck_5150]

Evh didn't put the gibson sticker on any 'fender"...boogie bodies neck and body

[@derekclacton]

Eddie said he picked up the body and neck cheap because they were B-stock!

[@nedludd3641]

I'm surprised Fender allowed EVH to use their headstock. I thought they were very strict about other makers using that headstock shape

[@dcamnc1]

Fender owns EVH (and Charvel).

[@metallsnubben]

i got the 78 eruption and it ain't never leavin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@user-uj5gv2zp9e]

Are these abnormaly small or is he just big

[@sleevelessace]

ones black and white and one is red uh DUH

[@whitebread940]

Dagan could sell a $1000 Hondo if one existed. Not a fan of Frankie unless Ed himself is playing it. The eruption is sexy.

[@jameslemley1758]

They are the same guitar

[@PMTVUK]

Almost

[@harrywoodelson7238]

Eddie Who ?

[@cMaXeJIJIo]

Eddie your momma

[@photoreference9429]

Wow this guy is nowhere even close to Eddie Van Halen’s peak level! Loved it none-the-less! Just massive respect to the greatest guitar player ever!

[@LightningN1NjA]

Funny thing is “this dude” gets paid alot of money to play guitar on KZbin while unfortunately the world doesn’t even know you exist.

[@cMaXeJIJIo]

Try Django Reinhardt, BRO
