These EVH Guitars Are Impressive And Have A Secret!

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: Some of the cheap Epiphones used to build a kill switch into the tone pot. You did not even have to drill another hole in the guitar, just tap the tone knob. I am surprised that feature did not show up on better guitars.

[@davidfaustino4476]

Lolol I hope this is sarcasm.

[@barbmelle3136]

@@davidfaustino4476 why would it be? If people like a kill switch, why not build it right in, instead of drilling another hole? If people like them, I am glad they have them.

Slime green…kill switch…banana headstock…sounds like 80’s heaven to me. I happen to know the Wolfgang pickups split really well too. I fitted a 6-way switch to my Wolfgang Standard. Super versatile

[@vorpalblades]

I never saw anyone using a killswitch until the 2000's.

That's one heck of a Banana Axe 🍌🎸🤘

Hey man - Once again - thank you for opening this give-away to people outside of the US. I really enjoy the laid back always positive attitude of your content. Its almost like, no matter the guitar, you always make the most of it. Love from Australia!

[@StainGlassArch]

Yep, thanks for the world wide inclusion. Another Aussie here :)

[@mannymejia7972]

I bought the exact same guitar about 4 months ago, and love it, especially the D tuna and kill switch. Kept going back and forth between the slime green and bubblegum pink. But decided on the green because I already had a pink Jem

[@mmiller6873]

That color is sick. You can never go wrong with the 80's

I am so in love!!!! Hubby and I are paycheck to paycheck so this would be a Christmas blessing!!

Reminds me a bit of Dweezil's Kramer. If ya know ya know

[@bardsimpson1404]

Had a killswitch put on my schecter and its a blast. Takes a lil getting used to, but worth it

[@Shroomer47]

That slime green is soooo beautiful!

[@emilychanfan]

I feel any killswitch conversation should include Buckethead, and his mastery of the sound. Check out his Northern Lights (Pike 95) work.

[@rosskrause3926]

I was lucky enough to be from this generation of guitar players..I was 14 in 1980 and man I loved all these players ! A friend of mine back then was a badass guitar player and we used to go to all the great concerts and eventually I started playing in 1985 ish..I would also like to say another shredder from back then around Kotzens time was Michael Lee Firkins...also a guy named Danny Gatton that was awesome as well even though he was more known for his country style licks but man he was badass too...also the guys in" The Hellecasters" as in John Jorgenson..Will Ray and Jerry Donahue. Great video Robert..big fan here and interested in your course but wondering if it's online only or any plans for a DVD ?

Loving all the Def Leppard licks Robert. I’m from where they are from in the U.K.! ❤🙌

[@offbeatbassgear]

An easy mod for anyone with a Strat-style pickguard is the Tesi Killswitch in 9 millimeter diameter. It really is an east fit to an existing Pot opening or to make one.

[@nickagervasi]

Greens are always polarizing, either people love them or hate them. But at least this one is fun!

[@DC7ify]

Fantastic guitar ! It is also super fun to jam on. Never tried or owned EvH wolfgang pickups but once i heard this baby i instantly fell in love. The tone ive been searching for was all in this axe! The neck pickup has a PAF type fat sound and the bridge has such a hard growl with a bite. Also rolling off the volume knob with distortion creates a nice clean tone effect

[@jorgegv5077]

Great sound!! I'd like to know what amplifier, over drive or Amp Sim you used... 😃. That sound rocks!!! 😎

[@gothicemeritus4663]

Lovely guitar!

I love Elliot Easton's playing he was a great lead guitarist very unique right-hander with some serious chops😊

Always dig your playing Robert....takes me back to my high school days in SE Ohio....keep rockin'!

[@3lth]

Man I have always wanted a green guitar. This design is almost perfect... almost. Truss rod adjustment at the join is great, FR with D-Tuna, Kramer style headstock, killswitch, my only bugbear is that it doesn't have a barrel output jack like the old kramer baretta and pacers. I've never liked the plated output jacks as the nuts always loosen and fall off when you least expect it.

[@not_sutton]

love the headstock!!

[@MrDbflex1]

I got the stealth black one still has the red kill switch, I love this guitar, playing through Dsl cr ,WITH REVV G4 hamertone delay and flanger, but it's my only guitar so Floyd rose is labour heavy to change tunings. So I need a couple more guitars but not that one, I got one and someone else needs this guitar. Best guitar giveaway all year!!! Great job on that Robert Baker! Love it.

[@donaldlaporte4227]

The intro was epic, Robert you rule brotha!!!

[@starman69]

Love that queensryche inspired sounding riff at the beginning

[@kimblers]

The EVH 5150 Slime Green is an awesome guitar. Best looking 5150 Standard model since the Rocket Red. I saw one at Guitar Center that was not selling so they marked down to $600. I should have hopped on it. I went back in a few days and it was gone. Very slick guitar. As always, you did a great demonstration.

[@Stef140]

I love the color of this guitar and was going to buy it a few months ago but I just hated that blocky Fender style neck joint when I played it. It makes the high fret access really awkward.

[@bldallas]

Very cool guitar. I’ve never been into “shredder” guitars but that kill switch intriguing. Great price, too.

I love the slime green, so cool 🤘🤘

Speaking of slime green, remember that band you were in with the bass player with the slime green bass with pointy headstock? You still play with those guys?

[@marcbomag4359]

Rock on man, nice licks. The guitar sounds so sweet. I had a Fender Strat when I was younger, and did not like it. Then I got a Kramer, like Eddie. This looks like a cross between the 2. I would love and be honored to play that EVH. Thanks, brother, I hope you find the right person.

[@burningdaylights]

I'd be all over this if I didn't already have a Stripe Series and a Circles. It's very, very cool and sounds great.

I love my EVH Stealth. The kill switch is awesome. If you are thinking about getting one, check out the Made In Japan models. Every bit as good, if not better, than the Made in USA model for half the price. Japanese quality control is second to none.

Wonder if that extreme angle of the strings on the headstock fucks with the tuning…

That just a regular knob for a pedal. Speed knobs are oversized so they don't have to make as many rotations over a given range.
