Hardtail Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Maybe many of you have already checked this site out. For those who haven't, it's really cool. I love the pics that show the room above his garage. Wall-to-wall axes. It's either one of Van Halen's rooms or ellwoods. Seriously, it's a neat site: http://www.vintagekramer.com/5150f.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtail Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yeah. That's the one pictured on the cover of Women and Children First. Did he actually play this guitar on the album or did he just use it for the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Madness Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Ed used to record with that guitar on songs that didn't require the whammy (I believe he used it on Running with the Devil among others). He completely destroyed the guitar with the mods because he removed too much wood in the bridge area and that guitar became only good for pics He regretted it but he had to do it in order to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarzan Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 i guess "destroyed" is his impression compared to how it sounded before the chainsaw massage. it probably still sounds good for most people. it is supposed to be Korina. if he doesn't want it i will take it. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedro Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 From an old Guitar World interview: That's Ed's Ibanez Destroyer, made of korina wood. I believe he used that particular guitar on the first three albums where there was no need for a tremolo, like "Jamie's Cryin'". He cut a huge huge hunk out of it for the Women & Children First photo shoot. According to Ed, it completely killed the tone. Ibanez sure used to make some nice copies.

dreibel Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think of all of them, the EB/MMs and Peavey Wolfgangs are the coolest ones. That and the Flying V "I used to be "with it", but then they changed what "it" was! Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what is "it" is weird and scary to me.

I've got a lawsuit Explorer built in '76 that rivals any Gibson that I have played. Great guitar. BTW, I have read that Ibanez didn't make them out of korina, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. Mine was refinished before I bought it, but it looks like it could be ash(?), but I'm not sure.

If I'm not mistaken, this mini LP is what Ed used on the intro to Little Guitars (it's not difficult to see where he got the title for that one).
