As much as I love Ed stuff, I dunno about this......Did Seymour Duncan jump the shark with striped EVH pickups??? Some Tasty playing by RJ Ronquillo. I can't say I would buy one...
I don't know how to put it into words. When Eddie did the stripes and you can tell it was just something cool he randomly just taped up, it's awesome. When they mass produce these things and slap prints on shit, it kinda just makes it less unique and more lame. I feel the same about the guitars too.
I've done EVH stripes to a couple 5150's and just taped em up randomly. Feels lame buying a mass produced pickup/guitar that everyone else has.
id join in on the party if made guitar stuff as well, why not make money of all these gullible idiots?? I still might make some "Eddies farts in a jar" and see how many i can sell, maybe give an unspecified prize if they post themselves huffing the jar on youtube.
