Unboxing my new Eddie Van Halen 5150 Kramer replica guitar.

Eddie Van Halen 5150 replica from China

[@overthemountain16]

I'm 32 and everything I get a guitar in the mail from Sweetwater I sit like you. Like a very excited kid opening up his presents on Christmas day. When I'm in my 60s. I imagine I'll still be doing the same. Rock on man. I'm waiting for my kramer striker to arrive.

[@edgartovar959]

Hope you lend me some guitars when your old hehehe;

[@tremdoctor007]

Gorgeous paint job! I want one too

[@nokomisnichols]

I’ve got a real EVH 5150 now. It looks orange but it’s really red.

[@TheOnlyCAVEMAN]

Would love to get this one,an budakhan Ace,iron cross hetfield, pinststripe billy,and few others just to put in glass boxes around my mancave

[@nokomisnichols]

that would be excellent brother.

[@anthonybeckett9755]

That is freakin sweet!

[@Markis5150]

Where have I see those colors before?! \m/

[@mikejennings681]

This Kramer of replicate of eddies look great!!?

[@brooksgaming5403]

definitely one of Ed’s finest

[@robtech341]

The unboxing can't be too long!

[@vestel777]

Where’s the Kramer Logo plus Star on the headstock????

[@nokomisnichols]

there is no kramer logo on it. its a chinese knockoff.

[@Big_Uncle_Randy]

Everyone that shops at any big box stores dollar stores ect.. in the USA unboxes Chinese goods daily..

where did you buy it

[@chrislink6846]

Nice axe 👍

[@jeffdavidson3563]

Where do you order this from?

[@nokomisnichols]

DH gate online. if you want quality this isnt what you want. it was 250$. not good craftsmanship at all.

[@frankthespank]

I really want one of these.... how bad is it? I know you called it “firewood”.... that bad? How much is a real EVH version? Gonna make a video on your real EVH guitar?

[@nokomisnichols]

I bought mine used from guitar center for 650$ I will probably make a video soon when the inspiration hits. hopefully pretty soon. Ive gotta find some free time though.

Can you please give update on the guitar? I'm looking at getting one as a project guitar

[@nokomisnichols]

whatever you do dont buy one from china. i bought real floyd rose and it doesnt fit. the neck locking nut was just put on with cheap wood screws. i also got corona virus from the unboxing and my whole family got sick. chinese guitars arent even good enough to be firewood. dont buy chinese. they are not even good enough for a project guitar.

[@brandonsuther]

Rusty Shackleford are you sure you got COVID from the unboxing?

[@ShockMe1994]

Rusty Shackleford oh come on, you got coronavirus from a guitar? With the amount of time it takes to get to you from China, the virus is dead on the guitar itself, you got the virus from something else, it wasn’t just because the guitar came from China.

[@gpdude22]

@@ShockMe1994 How many times are you going to repeat yourself? Again, the simple fact that he sent money to China has everything to do with their ability to further fund the development and transmission of the CCP virus into the US.

[@ShockMe1994]

@@gpdude22 ok but that’s not what we were talking about, he said the guitar gave him Coronavirus, like him touching the guitar, that’s nonsense, that’s what we were talking about here, nothing else, you took it upon yourself to steer the conversation in a different direction.

[@Big_Uncle_Randy]

Now take some 1000 grit sandpaper and matte down that shiny finish.😎

[@nokomisnichols]

Your right. I’ve scuffed it up a bit and put an EVH Floyd Rose tremolo on it. Now it’s been treated like Eddie Vanhalen treated his guitars so I’ve messed with it enough to where it stays in tune and plays pretty good.

[@calebproductions5970]

No leave it like it is.looks better.

[@ryant3600]

Yeah these replca's from China usually all look great but just know the hardware and electronics will need to be replaced. For me, that's perfectly fine on these "boutique" type guitars, it's about the paint jobs. I don't mind upgrading guitars anyway, it's kinda fun when you turn these cheap guitars into something really great

[@davids11131113]

Actually I got a aliexpress EVH and the hardware and electronics are surprisingly good.

[@jamescotner2459]

That's Rad!

[@nokomisnichols]

its really not any good. its really only a wall hanger. the quality is terrible. but thanks for the nice comment.

[@jamescotner2459]

Just love Van Halen

[@kamikazi777]

[@chrislink6846]

I love that electric twanger Rusty! It rocks 🎸❤️

[@nokomisnichols]

i bought all new stuff for it but nothing fits. the chinese caftsmanship is awful. dont buy from china. me and my family got corona virus after the unboxing.

[@chrislink6846]

Oh no imported Chinese virus filled guitar?! I hope you and the family are okay now my friend.

[@ShockMe1994]

Chris LINK there’s no way that guitar gave him coronavirus, with the amount of time it takes to ship from China, the virus would’ve died on the surface of the guitar, it was just sitting in the packaging, it has nothing to do with China or the guitar, he or one of his family members, touched something or breathed in something that caused it, the guitar didn’t do it, the packaging could have done it from the mail person as well but not the guitar or China.

I still can’t believe that if you buy a real Frankenstrat you don’t get a case included . I payed 1400 for mine and was shocked when it turned up from the factory in a cardboard box with polystyrene packing .

DHgate online is the website I bought it from. I recommend not to buy one of their guitars because the quality is awful and Im pretty sure I got corona virus from the unboxing.

[@johnirwin9710]

Bought 3 guitars all mine were awesome and no COVID !!

[@nokomisnichols]

mine wasnt well made. im glad that you had better made guitars and a better experience. im not positive my covid came from that guitar but it sure was suspicious to me. personally i will stick with USA made or made in Japan or korean or made in mexico. i wont knowingly buy anything made in china anymore. congradulations on your purchases. i hope they bring you lots of enjoyment. as much as i payed they shouldve been comparable to a 1500$ american made guitar but it wasnt even comparable to a 100$ cheapest strat beginner guitar. mine was total trash fire wood bought from DHgate online. i recommend to stay away from that sight.

[@johnirwin9710]

I stay away from them I had really bad experiences with that seller or sellers Allie express however much better and they always got back to me showing me pics of details I asked for I’m sorry for ur bad experience best thing to do is read their customers feed back and the stores ratings

its really hard to play because the string action is awful and not hardly able to adjust.

@@nokomisnichols Yeah i am surprised that there's even a truss rod in there.

[@zedman6516]

I bought one and relicized it and hung it on the wall in the great room as a tribute to EVH, it looks fantastic! I would say they look great as far as art goes, but for playing I would spend the money and get a good quality one or build one yourself.

[@nokomisnichols]

i actually fixed it quite well. i did what EVH wouldve done and i really surprised myself. its not pretty but its functionally perfect for what i expect from a guitar.

[@SquirrelTheater]

So he waits all of this time to get this guitar and then the first thing he does is try and take it apart? 😳😳😳

[@CaptainVelveeta]

That's actually how you tune a lock-neck whammy... probably a Floyd Rose.

[@nokomisnichols]

Never buy a fake EVH Kramer 5150 from China. It’s complete garbage. I tried to fix this pile of crap but it’s beyond repair that I can do. I bought a real Floyd Rose tremolo and it doesn’t fit their fake Floyd Rose tremolo. So I put the real Floyd Rose tremolo on my EVH 5150 guitar.

[@Notinserviceij]

You know why it doesn't fit a real Floyd rose? Funnily enough the holes are drilled for the Floyd rose copy which has different dimensions to avoid copy right So duh it won't fit a Floyd rose Now do you know how much say it is to fix this?? Fill in the pivot pole holes with wood, matchsticks and glue, sand it back, re drill the holes at the correct scale length position and width needed to fit the original teen, and wham bam you have a great Floyd rose on an average guitar We all know these are average, but they are perfect if you wanna make it great because get a good stable one with good solid wood and construction and then you can make into a great guitar It's clear you are clueless about building guitars we are asking you for more demonstration and examples of the guitar not some bullshit about Corona virus

Because there is no copyright law in China, Google US customs officers in America confiscating guitars, it’s happened & they still do it but it depends on a lot of things.

People have gotten cease & desist orders from companies like Gibson before and in that case the US confiscates the guitar & burns it.
